New Work

November 6, 2014by Anna Schuleit Haber

In 2012 I performed in a set design for dance at New York Live Arts (Ambient Cowboy), in which I explored a newly enabled drawing technique that reached beyond the traditional […]

Last night was MR’s "Annual Winter Party," with their issue V.60 #4 out on Dec.15. I am over the moon humbled and grateful to be on the cover of this anniversary issue... and will post more about what's inside once I get my copy. Meanwhile, if you're curious you can order yours via @themassachusettsreview.🌱 ------------------------------------------------------------- Bloom, 2003. Massachusetts Mental Health Center Boston, MA Nov 14-18, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------- The concept for Bloom (2003) came to me as a site-specific installation to mark the transition of the life and history of this institution toward its closure, from its physical state to the remembered. I imagined the project on a 1:1 scale with the building, on all floors and hallways. Twenty-eight thousand flowers arrived on trucks in the span of a few days, all needing to be watered as they came in, all having to be placed in the building, unwrapped, arranged, watered again. I had a team of about eighty volunteers to help me with this, all spontaneous helpers. After four public days of “Bloom”, the building was closed for good, and we delivered all twenty-eight thousand flowers to shelters, half-way houses, and psychiatric hospitals throughout New England—which is why I didn’t want to work with cut flowers. I wanted these flowers to continue onward, after the installation. Bloom was a reflection on the healing symbolism of flowers given to the sick when they are bedridden and confined to hospital settings. As a visiting artist I had observed an astonishing absence of flowers in psychiatric settings. Here, patients receive few, if any, flowers during their stay. Bloom was created to address this absence, in the spirit of offering and transition. ---------------------------------------------------------- ✏ P.S. some artist's proofs of this project are still available, inquire by DM. ---------------------------------------------------------- #bloom #boston #flowers #design #harvardmedicalschool #psychiatry #art #installation #happy #weekend #news

Bloom, 2003. Massachusetts Mental Health Center Boston, MA Nov 14-18, 2003 Three artist's prints are left from last week's studio cleanup and packing.

This piece, a complicated yoga pose, 60" x 84," which took five years to finish, might get its own building to be hung in. The collector is an architect. #space for #art #kunst #raum

This department! ...not "near," but literally adjacent to the @kempermuseum. And what makes foundation @kcartinstitute so special? Well, for one, everyone has to go through it before declaring a major. Foundation faculty bring the students "into broad-based, studio-intensive investigations in perceptual and intellectual studies." 💥💥 Love it. @kcaifoundation

Wedged fortuitously between the venerable @nelsonatkins museum and the fresh-faced @kempermuseum, Kansas City Art Institute is an inspiring place. @kcartinstitute Delighted and glad to be here for a brief visit.

Last night @kcartinstitute during their 'Current Perspectives Lecture Series'... #cadmium #yellow #eastmanschoolofmusic

60" x 48" Acrylic on linen. Belly series. Will be @kcartinstitute tomorrow for a visiting artist lecture... can't wait to meet the students, faculty, colleagues, everyone @kcaifoundation

mixed media on linen, in-progress New series of paintings about bellies, bikes, morphine, punctured lungs, hunger, and new unlikely friends 153cm x 122cm #Mischtechnik auf #Leinen

I recently walked to the emergency room of a #hospital in a strange city I was visiting to ask for help with my on-fire belly, after falling off an old bike. Made it to the intake counter at the entrance, just barely... next thing I knew I had been admitted to the ICU. Fractured pancreas. This is the #story. // New #series of #paintings about bellies, #bikes, #morphine, punctured lungs, #hunger, and new #friends. #Mixedmedia on Belgian #Linen 60" x 48" 153cm x 122cm #Mischtechnik auf #Leinen
