Jeremy Liu
Co-Founder
Jeremy is an artist and also the Executive Director of the Asian Community Development Corporation - a community-based, not-for-profit developer of affordable housing and vibrant and healthy neighborhoods for all. Over the past 12 years, he has created community-based projects such as A Chinatown Banquet (a multimedia digital art and activism project, 1999-present), Speakeasy (providing language interpretation services utilizing low-cost, open source technology and mobile phones, 2004-present), and Car Jam (a Situationist response to gentrification-ist development in Boston, 2000). As an artist, Jeremy creates community-based art projects, social practice performance art, and installations, including: the New Modern Cultural Center (Visible Republic commission for The New England Foundation for the Arts, 2000), Greenhouse Vision at the Re-Vision House Urban Farm (Fund for the Arts commission, 1999-2004), projects with the Reclamation Artists (1996-1999), and History or Community (commissioned installation for Tufts University, 1996). He has written and lectured in the U.S. and abroad about participatory planning, technology, and arts and culture as community building, and has consulted to several arts-based community development projects in Asia.
Jeremy in collaboration with Hiroko has conceived and produced, curated, or created community-based performance, new media, and installation art projects. They have developed a collaborative practice over the past few years that we call Social Performance Art, the adaptation of existing social systems as artist that creates new ideas, meanings, relationships, and interdependencies. Their projects include CHINATOWN™ (Asian Art Initiative, Philadelphia, PA, 2007-2009) Skinshipu (The Artist Foundation, Boston, USA, 2005-present), Sifting the Inner Belt (Boston Center for the Arts, Boston, USA, 2005), Gifu Machi-JIN-zukuri (Gifu, Japan, 2002); Treasure Hill Garden Portrait Studio Project (Taipei, Taiwan, 2003-2004); and others.
