Get Free
Jennifer Wroblewski

For Get Free, Jennifer Wroblewski frames “the real” as the perceived limitations inherent to life in the material world. The temporary installation investigates the possibilities of finding freedom through a transcendence of the material body as well as an embrace of that which is our energetic presence in the material universe. The goal of this temporary installation/wall drawing is to challenge and redefine ideas about the drawing as object by creating a site-specific, impermanent installation. The drawing is a byproduct of a performance, the casting of a spell, an offer of a different version of reality for both artist and viewer. The space becomes the body, in constant motion, externalized. Following the exhibition, the walls will be repainted and the drawing lost forever. The work cannot be preserved, framed or purchased. The work itself is fleeting, as are all moments of freedom.
