Barbara Siegel "Arboretum"
A.I.R. Gallery
This event has ended.
Barbara Siegel's biographically inspired installations memorialize and subjectively re-imagine the complexities and creative trajectories of other people's lives. The subject and inspiration for Arboretum is the life and practice of horticulturalist Dr. Sidney Waxman (1923-2005). Siegel's large wall-installation, Dr. Waxman's Arboretum, combines paintings, drawings, photographs, and measuring devices related to and evoking Waxman's practice. Additionally, Siegel spent fall 2010 as visiting professor at Sungshin Women's University in Seoul, also traveling to Beijing and Kyoto. The wall installation S(e)oul of Korea was made during Siegel's Seoul residency. Each of the 54 collaged panels are framed on Korean rice paper; the visual content is an amalgam of friends, colleagues, students, experiences, texts, and artifacts of a life-changing experience-the work is a multi-layered visual diary.
