Zhiqian Wang's works range from interventions, analog film to work on paper or silk. Taking premises from science, history and philosophy, her work constructs experimental systems that test the boundaries of meanings through linguistic and emprical interaction. Her installations stage situations that examine the contexts and conditions from which meaning emerges. In her films, she examines how meaning is constructed or deferred through the relation between image and sign, while emphasizing the material processes of analog media. She recently had solo shows: “Twins, Twilight, and Apple Tree”, “Moonlight of the Twins”, “Red or White Roses” and “Earth and Jerry”, and a two-person show: "Capital Investigation." Her works have also been shown at The Jewish Museum, Contemporary Arts Center (Cincinnati), Lenfest Center for the Arts, Harvard Medical School, Hudson River Museum, among others. She had participated in performances at MoMA Ps1, Performa Biennial, Art, Culture, and Technology at MIT among others. Her films had been shown at Tehran International Short Film Festival. She was invited as a guest lecturer in the theoretical computer science department at Harvard University and has collaborated with scholars and researchers in different fields of science. She holds an MFA from Columbia University. She is currenly an artist in residency at Art Explora x Vila 31, Tirana, Albania, and will be joing the Art Explora x cité internationale des arts, Paris, France next.
