Site-specific Installation and Interactive Art Premiere at Brooklyn InFUSION Gallery

Premiering at Brooklyn InFUSION Gallery’s Opening to You – An Exchange Project, a new installation by artist Robyn Ellenbogen. The artist’s solo exhibition features meditative bamboo sculptures created to generate creative interaction with viewers.

Ellenbogen has filled each stalk of bamboo with a loving kindness meditation and she invites her viewers to each take one if they choose. In return, she invites viewers to write or draw a message in response to the meditation on the selection of colored papers she has provided. Participants can choose to remain anonymous or to disclose their identity. During Ellenbogen’s closing reception, these messages will be shared with the audience to further open this creative dialogue.

This exhibition is the final installment of Roots: Drawing Connections Through Community, curated by Holly Shen Chaves.

Robyn Ellenbogen received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts and Master of Fine Arts from Hunter College. Ellenbogen is currently an artist-in-residence at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, St. Peter’s Hospital, and Robert Wood Johnson Hospital. Robyn Ellenbogen lives and works in Shrewsbury, NJ.
