Rebecca Kautz: Jumping from Trains

Arts + Literature Laboratory presents Jumping from Trains, an exhibition by Rebecca Kautz, on display from Tuesday, July 9 through Friday, August 30, 2024

Jumping from Trains is an exhibition of the interdisciplinary artworks of Rebecca Kautz and will incorporate durational site specific performance, painting, and sculptural practices. In her work, the artist explores the multiple approaches to reckoning with issues of the heart and mind. Making works in response to mental states, cultural events, activism, or simply to create a lasting sentiment, this creative collection – rather than a strict singular vision – elevates the process and value of tangents, multiplicity, and exploration. As a whole, Jumping from Trains signals the erratic, potentially hazardous endeavor of switching directions or choosing another path.

A reception for all of the current exhibitions at Arts + Literature Laboratory will be held on Friday, July 19 from 6:00pm–8:00pm, with remarks from Rebecca Kautz and Rina Yoon & John Shuerman (Homologies), around 7:00pm.
