Mandarin Express presents Site of Extraction, a performance by artist Fei Liu @binaricorn , hosted by gmtc - golden monkey trading company 金猿商社 @gmtc.nyc , as part of our public program series.
Site of Extraction is a research and performance art project which documents the artist’s participation in extractive systems and marginalized labor in order to collect capital for her mutual aid art practice. This presentation results from first-hand experience of the phenomena of the United States blood plasma donation industry, and makes a parallel between performance and the act of perforation, and interrogates how these systems are reframed when nonparticipation is a privilege.
🗓 Saturday, October 31, 5 – 7 PM
📍 gmtc - golden monkey trading company 金猿商社, 210 Canal St, RM310, New York, NY, 10013
🎟 Tickets via link in bio.
About the artist
Fei Liu 刘斐 is a New York-based Chinese artist, designer, and educator whose work moves between socially engaged art practices, mutual aid, performance, and the politics of embodied labor. Her projects place her own body inside of, or adjacent to, extractive systems to investigate who bears physical risk and who profits from it. Earlier work investigated how technological systems attempt to replicate and automate care, and what passes as companionship. She is a product designer at The Intercept and an adjunct professor at Parsons MFA Design & Technology. Previous residencies and grants include Brooklyn Arts Council, ONASSIS USA, Pioneer Works, New Museum, NEW INC, and Akademie Schloss Solitude.
