Beili Liu is a visual artist
who creates material-and-process-driven, site-responsive
installations. Oftentimes
embodying transience, fragility, and the passage of time, Liu’s
immersive installations are
engaged with multifaceted dichotomies: lightness contrasted with heft;
fierceness countered by resilience; and chaos balanced by quiet order. Working
with commonplace materials and elements such as thread, scissors, paper, stone,
fire, and water, Liu manipulates their intrinsic qualities to extrapolate
complex cultural narratives. Born in Jilin, China, Beili Liu now lives and
works in Austin, Texas, USA. Liu received her MFA from the University of
Michigan, Ann Arbor, and is a Professor of Art at the University of Texas at
Austin.
