The Grunwald Gallery at Indiana University Bloomington is pleased to present After All (Mending the Sky), an installation by visiting artist Beili Liu.

After All (Mending the Sky) is a site-specific installation which will occupy the east wing of the Grunwald Gallery as part of China Remixed: Arts and Humanities in Contemporary Chinese Culture. The global festival is sponsored by the Indiana University Bloomington’s Arts and Humanities Council.

Emphasizing gentle movement, the energy and transformative properties of sunlight, and repeated organic forms, After All (Mending the Sky) is comprised of suspended raw silk half domes. These domes or “stones” have been imprinted upon using the cyanotype process to lend rich indigo tones to their forms. True to her use of humble, yet metaphorically charged, materials, Beili Liu’s use of raw silk makes reference to the tradition of cultivating silk in China where Liu was born. After All (Mending the Sky) poetically draws upon the Chinese fable of Nüwa, goddess and creator of mankind. After a tear in the sky brings suffering and calamity to her creations, Nüwa faces heroically difficult tasks to mend the tear, and return order to the world.
