Kathy Ruttenberg on Broadway: in dreams awake

Kathy Ruttenberg on Broadway:
in dreams awake

Kathy Ruttenberg on Broadway: in dreams awake, which closed on March 8, 2019, featured six large-scale, figural sculptures by Kathy Ruttenberg on the Broadway malls between 64th and 157th Streets. In her first major outdoor installation, Ruttenberg created narrative works—combining human, animal, and plant forms—that brought to life a wonder world in which different species merge and figures serve as landscapes. The artist employed a variety of sculptural media including patinated bronze, glass mosaic, transparent cast resin, and carefully orchestrated LED lighting. The interaction among color and form, opacity and transparency, and even light itself used as a medium highlighted the inherently theatrical nature of the visual storyteller's art.
