Join Van Lier Fellow Xin Liu to create paintings about the cosmos using unconventional materials such as gold leaf and conductive copper tape. Participants will have the opportunity to experiment and play with LEDs to create stars and galaxies.

Mixing scientific research with personal narratives, Xin Liu creates transformative, participatory experiences and bodily objects to examine the constitution of subjectivity and affects. She trained as an engineer for two decades, and technology functions as her native language and craft within her art practice.
