Sara’s sound/video piece “Fall Line” will be on view at University of Virginia’s Ruffin Gallery as part of the exhibition “New Growth: Ten Years of ArtLab at Mountain Lake Biological Station” from October 21, 2024 to December 6, 2024. The exhibition is curated by Sarah Irvin and Tracy Stonestreet with an opening reception taking place November 8, 2024.
From Sarah Irvin’s website (sarahirvinart.com):
This upcoming exhibition celebrates the mission and history of UVA’s Artlab Residency at Mountain Lake Biological Station. Begun in 2014, ArtLab brings together artists with scientists to observe, explore, and investigate the natural world. Each artist in the exhibition is a past participant of the residency, and each artwork reflects in its own way the type of exploration and research that Artlab fosters.
The artworks curated here communicate the profoundly positive impact of interdisciplinary interaction. Tapping into the principles of observation, they focus on the natural world and our relation to it, and call attention to the artist’s central role as observer. This has the collective result of blurring the fictitious line between observer and the observed, and of highlighting the human ability to step out of and interpret the workings of our planet.
