Spaces of Life: The Art of Sonya Rapoport

Description

Spaces of Life: The Art of Sonya Rapoport
Exhibition Dates: January 18 - March 11, 2012

Spaces of Life: The Art of Sonya Rapoport presents a group of Rapoport’s interactive works, created between 1979-2011 that function in the intersection between questioning and inviting.

Recognized for her early embrace of computer technology, in the mid 1970’s, and participatory web-based works, Rapoport presents new works alongside earlier ones in an all encompassing installation that fuses the spaces of the museum with the energy of the artist’s Berkeley home and studio. Rapoport’s work has long operated as a bridge between the public sphere of intellectual curiosity and scholarship and the domestic one of spiritual inquiry and nurturing.

Sonya Rapoport’s sixty-year career spans painting, works on paper, interactive installations and digital works. Rapoport’s approach to art making is naturally diverse, underpinned by her pioneering use of scientific and social science research as the basis for a conceptual practice. Her work reveals deep philosophical and psychological perspectives, humor, expression, and creativity, which she brings to such topical concerns as gender, religion, politics, bioengineering, and the role of technology in contemporary life explored through interactive processes, systems and media.
