Water Stories: New Work by Anne Labovitz

 
 
 

On view September 30, 2022 - January 22, 2023

For this exhibition, St. Paul artist Anne Labovitz creates colorful and powerful large-scale works and installations that invite the audience to consider their lives in connection to water. This new work examines water in different visual manifestations–highlighting its powerful and mesmerizing presence. Labovitz also considers bodies of water as a place for contemplation, solus, and as a site for reflection. Through painting, sculpture and a large room installation, audiences will be offered an immersive and participatory experience.
