Antone Liu b. 1999 in Anshan, China
currently lives and works in Frankfurt am Main and Wuxi. 

Engaging deeply with the history of design and manufacturing, Liu’s practice examines the precarious nature of constructed understanding while embracing liminality as both method and subject. With an acute material sensitivity, Liu’s three dimensional work, often in textile and fabric, gives form to the experience of displacement and unfolds narratives in the intersectionality. Liu creates performative surfaces with handcrafted practice, and gentle detonations of perceptual norms occur when cracks in reality’s cosmetic surface are pried open by the crowbar of precision craftsmanship.
