Work by Associate Professor An Te Liu will be featured in the group show, Casting the Negative, at the Daniel Faria Gallery (188 St. Helens Avenue, Toronto). The exhibition, which will also feature work by Iris Häussler and Jennifer Rose Sciarrino, will celebrate its opening on Thursday, February 13 from 6-8pm, and run until.March 22.

Each of artists in this exhibition use sculpture to engage with their shared interest in the process of casting. The exhibited work will explore new sculptural possibilities in relation to the artist's own craft.

"An Te Liu’s works are ambiguous artifacts that appear ancient and anthropomorphic, but are completely contemporary," says the Daniel Faria Gallery website. "Cast from materials used for the packing and shipping of consumer goods, Liu breathes new life into these discarded – and ‘negative’ – forms to create works of iconic beauty. Remnants are shaped and reconfigured into objects that are simultaneously pre-historic, mid-century and futuristic."

An Te Liu received his M Arch from the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles. Liu has had numerous solo exhibitions, most recently MONO NO MA at the Gardiner Museum, Toronto. Group exhibitions include Hyper Spaces at Oakville Galleries, The Leona Drive Project, Toronto, The 11th Venice Biennale of Architecture, and Street at the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam. His work is in various collections including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA), the Art Institute of Chicago, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the National Gallery of Canada.
