Recognized as one of the most important Chinese artists working in the United States today, Hung Liu’s installations have played an important role in her work throughout her career. Hung Liu: Offerings examines the themes of memory, history, and cultural identity through works that navigate the complex journey of immigration and returning home. Accompanied by related paintings and prints, Jiu Jin Shan and Tai Cang serve as memorials to the past while acknowledging the rapidly changing cultural dynamics in contemporary China.
