Exploring the rules, codes, and representations of 'game-space'-the carefully painted surfaces that delineate functions and govern activity in the realm of leisure and competitive sport-An Te Liu's new work brings together painting, sculpture, design, and performance. Tackiness and Anti-Power is concerned with different traditions of abstraction that have profoundly informed both art and architectural practices. Referencing table tennis, multi-use gymnasium floors, and other game surfaces, coating becomes coding, lines become boundaries, colors become rules, and surfaces become activated.

This project is funded, in part, by The Canada Council for the Arts.
