Beili Liu’s poetic installation “Each and Every/Houston” lingers in the brain well after a visitor has left Asia Society Texas Center. Its massive scale may have something to do with that, but the piece’s elements pose questions with no clear answers.
Beili Liu’s solemn and poetic installation “Each and Every/Houston” at Asia Society Texas within the show “Making Home: Artists and Immigration.”Beili Liu’s solemn and poetic installation “Each and Every/Houston” lingers in the brain well after a visitor has left Asia Society Texas Center. Its massive scale may have something to do with that, but the piece’s elements pose questions with no clear answers.
A master at choosing materials that respond to her installation sites, she had dipped thousands of white feathers in tar an earlier immigration-themed project. She conceived “Each and Every” for a Seattle art space with exposed brick walls, and the mortar between the bricks inspired her use of cement. The result is literally heavy. Importantly, though, the clothes don’t sit on the floor. They appear to hover, caught in a liminal space.: 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Weds.-Fri; 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Sat.
Liu also performs a silent meditation with “Each and Every,” using a small table at the front of the room where a pile of used children’s clothing awaits. On June 18, she will be there with a needle and thread, mending the worn clothes. The point is to display what she calls “the redemptive, healing process of feminine labor,” but it’s also an act of political protest and a reenactment of personal history.
Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya’s room brings an emotive blast of color. She has painted a mural on the back wall with the message, “Find Hope Here.” That sentiment offers a middle ground between the celebratory spirit of her eye-popping found object constructions and the nostalgia of pantry goods and other small objects from an Asian American home. The artists’ written poems, presented on walls and video monitors, heighten the mood.
