July 13 - September 10, 2023
From Artpace:
“Artist and engineer Xin Liu presents her captivating exhibition, At the End of Everything, which delves into the nature of oil as an assertive, almost sentient resource rather than a passive substance and explores the intersection of oil, life, and death. The centerpiece of the exhibition is a striking pyramid-shaped structure suspended over an oil fountain, with a glass globe containing oil at its core. Coming from a background deeply connected to petroleum exploitation in her hometown of Karamay, Xinjiang, China, Liu’s residency in oil-dependent Texas further amplifies the significance of her work, with Texas leading the nation in crude oil production and refining and home to the largest petrochemical cluster in the world.”
