Join artist Liu Wei and Met curator Lesley Ma for a conversation about The Genesis Facade Commission: Liu Wei, Speculation, a suite of four large-scale sculptures for The Met Fifth Avenue’s facade. Using a variety of materials and remixing familiar motifs—fragments from the urban environment, historical sources, and bodily forms—Liu Wei invites contemplation, surprise, and revelation to pierce through our perceptions of reality with a blend of rawness and refinement. The conversation also delves into Liu Wei’s expansive career as a conceptual artist. Please note that this program includes interpretation from Mandarin Chinese into English.
