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. Presented in conjunction with The Genesis Facade Commission: Liu Wei, “Speculation.” Learn more about the exhibition: https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/the-genesis-facade-commission-liu-wei Presented by Genesis. Significant support is provided by the Director’s Fund, East West Bank, The Hazen Polsky Foundation, Zimo Zeng, and Lehmann Maupin.

The acclaimed Chinese artist Liu Wei (born 1972, Beijing) has transformed the niches of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s iconic Fifth Avenue facade with a suite of new sculptures that confronts the constant state of shift in society. Consisting of four metallic, monumental works, “Speculation” lays bare the contradictions inherent in periods of profound change, in the context of the Museum’s architecture, collection, and the complexity of our time. Through Liu’s signature language of assemblage and reconfiguration—in which organic, geometric, and architectural fragments collide—the cycles of rupture and suture in the historical and contemporary experience come alive. On view through June 8, 2027, “The Genesis Facade Commission: Liu Wei, Speculation” marks Liu’s first major presentation in the United States.
