Connectivity

Art description Selections from the Collection of the Frost Art Museum

Through five thematic sections, Connectivity: Selections from the Frost Art Museum Collection examines how art objects, created across cultures and during different time periods, relate to one another and to myriad publics. Abstract Languages comprises the first section and offers an opportunity to analyze works that implement color, line, and form in dynamic ways. Whether it is a longing for home or the memory of a cherished street corner, Geographic Spaces, the second section, examines how the notion of place serves as a creative catalyst. In the third section, the notion of Individuality emanates through an examination of portraiture and different representations of the figure. This section explores shifting notions of dress and comparative elements such as gesture and pose. The fourth section considers Belief Systems, emphasizes myths and organized religions. The final section, Citizens During Turbulent Times, reflects on this particular moment and evokes the effects of war, climate change, and collective anxiety.

Connectivity shares recent gifts, celebrates the Frost Art Museum’s treasures, and includes rarely seen objects from the vaults collected over the past 40 years since the museum’s inception in 1977. Select objects featured in the installation will be rotated periodically.

Special Exhibition

Description

Liu Shiyuan: Opaque PollinationLiu Shiyuan’s work probes the causes and results of gaps in communication that arise from changing technologies as well as from transcultural exchanges. Through images in videos, collaged photography, and other mixed media work, she

interrogates in-between spaces of a global existence mediated by technology where intimacy and secrecy can be scarce. Born in Beijing, Liu Shiyuan studied in New York and now lives in Copenhagen and Beijing.

Video forms a major part of Liu’s practice. These sweeping cinematic presentations incorporate awkward human interactions and stock photography. The stilted dialogues in her videos highlight our contemporary communication practices in which face-to-face interactions are often influenced by social media, screen time, and images seen on the Internet.

Liu’s use of stock photography in video is echoed in the artist’s two-dimensional works. A series of photographs in the exhibition features photographs of landscapes, animals, and food collaged together in a painterly manner. In her large-scale installation, As Simple As Clay, the artist searched the word “clay” in different languages on the Internet. In addition to the photographs from the Internet, she took photographs of her hand holding or in some cases molding various substances, while she simultaneously studied a new language. By shaping and playing with different materials, the artist encourages new perspectives on form and meaning. After gathering an archive of imagery, Liu neutralized them by placing the images on a sterile bright blue background. Upon entering the installation, the visitor is engulfed by the cornucopia of images. This installation reiterates how varied meanings can be assigned to individual images when stripped of their context.

This exhibition marks the artist’s first solo exhibition at a museum in the United States. Liu has been featured in multiple solo presentations in China and group presentations in China, Denmark, Germany, and the U.S. She received a BFA from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in in Photography, Video, and Related Media in 2012.

This exhibition was made possible through the generous support of the Jane Hsiao Asian Art Endowment.

Part E. What Would You Take Home

If you could take one work home, from anything in the museum, what would you select and why? Describe the work you have selected

If you could take one work home, I will take this one because I remember memories from my life between my ages 12 to 19. Every year from January to February I traveled to my grandmother’s coffee farm that is located in a beautiful place called the Mountain of the flower, this place looks like that place where I shared beautiful moments with my grandmother, unfortunately my grandmother died in 2008 and I never returned to that place, I think that if I take this piece to my house I will constantly remember the beautiful That was my life in that place.
