Since emerging as a pioneer of conceptual art in China during the late 1990s, Liu Wei has continuously challenged conventional boundaries, exploring the systemic tensions, contradictions, and transformations of our rapidly evolving world. His intervention at The Met brilliantly juxtaposes industrial roughness with the museum's stately Beaux-Architecture, inviting international audiences to reflect on cycles of rupture, resilience, and renewal.
The Asian Cultural Council extends its warmest congratulations to Liu Wei on this triumphant achievement, which underscores the profound, enduring impact of Asian contemporary artists on the global cultural stage.
