Arthur Liou

Faculty Director
Indiana Studies 2020: The Style of the State
A photo of Arthur Liou
Jawshing Arthur Liou works with photography, video, and electronic imaging to create video installations depicting mental and surreal spaces. The videos do not contain a clear narrative but rather are meditative in nature, allowing time to slow to a ruminative pace, while spatial scales oscillate between the microcosmic and infinitely expansive. Using sources ranging from landscapes to oil paint to the human body, much of Liou’s work is related to Buddhist concepts of impermanence, meditations on nature and spirituality, and coping with the illness of his daughter.

Liou’s videos and prints are featured in exhibitions and collections in the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art; Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography; National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts; Taipei Fine Arts Museum; Museum of Fine Arts Houston; Indianapolis Museum of Art; National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; and Seoul Museum of Art. Liou is the recipient of Asian Cultural Council Grant, New York; Efroymson Contemporary Arts Fellowship, Indianapolis; and Garry B. Fritz Award from the Society for Photographic Education National Conference, Chicago.
