Reception｜06.10.2023 (Sat.) 4:30 p.m.

Field of the Unknown is an extension of Liu’s 2022 solo exhibition Archaeology and Contemporary Iron Art at the Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology in Bali, New Taipei City. While the Shihsanhang exhibition looks back on Taiwan’s past archaeological discoveries in smelting through an artificial excavation site of a future civilization, Field of the Unknown responds to the rapid advance of industrial technology and modern-day materialism by presenting an imagined future human habitat. The exhibition comprises four bodies of work: laser-cut work in two-dimensional form, clusters of steel blocks that the artist has nicknamed “meteorites,” the notable “Iron Man” series, and the kinetic installation he developed in recent years.
