Join us for an Artist Reception for Anne Labovitz’s site-specific installation at Art in Motion on the Lake Wobegon Trail. Over 1000 linear feet of painted tyvek suspend and drape from the 20 foot ceilings at the Art in Motion gallery activating every dimension from floor to ceiling and everything in between.

Examining the importance of human interaction and its visual embodiment, Anne Labovitz’s work is often about engaging people across cultural and geographical boundaries, reflecting ideas of generosity, friendship, community building, and emotional exchange. Color, texture, and installation all combine to create a shared space of connection and contemplation. “I believe color is a life force.”

“Creative Connections” is intentionally site-specific, responding to the place of Art In Motion, including the natural environment and the ideas and people who inhabit the venue, the exhibition gallery with it’s vast and expansive ceilings, the light that streams into the space, and of course my amazing students. Over the course of the last six months, I facilitated a collaborative and experimental internship space for 18 local high-school age students at Art in Motion. During this time, I guided discussion, critique, brainstorming techniques, collaboration, creative problem solving, and interdisciplinary art making with the ultimate goal of producing work for an art exhibition. Students showed their work in April and this show reflects the concurrent work I made.
