About Xinyu
Xinyu Liu is a New York-based artist working across video,sculpture, drawing, and installation. Her practice explores howtime, space, memory, and identity are shaped by movementacross different environments. Through small-scale objects, fragmented images, and spatial arrangements, Liu creates quiet psychological landscapes that reflect states of transition, suspension, and displacement.

Liu's works have been featured in exhibitions including her solo exhibition Fool's Hour at Art Cake in Brooklyn, New York (2026), 12 at Latchkey Gallery in New York (2024), Journey at Hot Water Cool Art in New York (2025),and Returning to Flow at Flowing Space Gallery in New York (2025). She received her BFA in Product Design from Shanghai Institute of Technology and her MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in New York.
Time, Memory
and Movement
My practice spans video, sculpture, drawing, and installation, exploring how time, memory, and identity are shaped by movement across spaces. Rather than treating time as a linear measure of productivity, I approach it as a cyclical and embodied experience, one that is formed through repetition, waiting, distance, and return.
My work often begins with moments of transition: moving between places, entering unfamiliar environments, or sensing that one’s relationship to a space has shifted. I am interested in how memory is triggered by fragments of architecture, color, texture, and bodily orientation, and how these fragments form unstable psychological maps. Through small-scale objects, drawings, and spatial arrangements, I create quiet environments where traces of experience appear, disappear, and reassemble.
Rather than presenting identity as fixed, my work considers the self as something continually shaped by movement, memory, and displacement. I linger in the tension between stability and instability, where boundaries remain open and belonging is felt as temporary, partial, and in flux.
