based in london, liang-jung chen is an artist and researcher working across drawing, object, installation and performance. her practice is informed by material culture in anthropological study which leads her to investigate the usage, consumption, creation, and trade of artefacts as well as the behaviours, norms, and rituals that the artefacts take part in.
intrigued by tensions embedded in everyday scenarios, each series of her work scrutinises a specific interaction between a daily object and its user.
she is an associate lecturer at chelsea college of arts.
she also runs ii (initial initiatives) and hardware archive.
