Jim Cogswell: Meanwhile
Colorful and exciting, Cogswell's work originates in the figure; by the time the piece is completed the figure has merged into an abstract design.

Recall
September 6 - October 27

GalleryOne kicks off a year of installation art with Beili Liu's "Recall." Liu, assistant professor of art at Eastern Michigan University, is an installation artist who studied and worked in both China and the United States. Her work has been exhibited in the Ann Arbor Art Center, the Michigan Guild Gallery, The University of Michigan's Institute for the Humanities, and at Djerassi Resident Artist Program in Woodside, CA, among many others. Liu has been featured in publications such as: Detroit Metro Times, The Detroit News, World Herald, The World News Network, and Ceramic Art and Perception (technical), Australia. Her work has included everything from building an adobe structure based on her parents' hand-built home in Northern China to installations created with wax drips, or the changes created by water on shapes of salt. Liu received her MFA from the University of Michigan.



Liu says that "experiencing her work is like reading a poem, the tone of the voice affects the layering of words, which emerge, echo, and fade out through time. A visit to the work is an encounter with the solidification of time and change."

Liu's work uses simple, humble materials in unique and unusual ways. We watch, fascinated, as the artist allows a natural process to alter these materials until they evolve into an entirely different visual experience.
