About Meitao Qu
Working across sculpture, installation, and XR, Qu’s practice is concerned with the role of images in shaping discourses of gender, race, and nation. Using miniatures and readymades, her work considers the artifice of the built environment to explore the conditions of what is lost and gained in the processes of urbanization. As such, Qu confronts the complexity of system change and the significant challenges facing society, addressing the interconnections between the social, political, and ecological worlds.
