In On the Wall, Barbara Lubliner presents an installation entitled Upcycled Tubes: Assert, Defend, Surrender & Youngsters in her first solo show at Carter Burden Gallery. For this installation Lubliner utilizes discarded cardboard tubes to elicit body language and the pared down form of individuals.
The artist states “by re-purposing trash into playful art, I shift the focus from environmental blight to creative production.” Each figure is in an expressive posture and relates to the attitude and feelings that embody each of us.
