Biography
New York artist, Barbara Lubliner moves fluidly from performance art, to works on paper, to sculpture both large and small. No matter the media, all her work uses visual symbolic language to communicate multiple layers of meaning. Additionally she has organized and moderated panels, curated shows, and started a feminist newspaper.
In the late 1980's Lubliner started her ongoing series of work called, "Aspects of the Female Experience." This series grew out of her experiences of giving birth and mothering. While based on the naturalistic figure, in this work she abstracts, alters, and reconstructs forms to express a complexity of associations. "Aspects of the Female Experience" has been shown in gallery venues as well as public spaces. Lubliner continues to create figurative works that explore the human condition. Many of these are of indeterminate gender and made with papier maché.
In 2000 Lubliner took up welding in order to make armatures and stands for her figures. She quickly got sidetracked from the practical task of making metal supports and began creating playful, toy-like sculptures with found metal.
In 2006 Lubliner's impulse to explore varied media led her to create performance pieces. In her performance art Lubliner uses her own body as a sculptural element.
"File Cycle," Lubliner's sculpture in Stamford, Connecticut's 2007 art in public places exhibit, was featured in the New York Times article about the show.
Solo exhibits have included the Gibson Gallery Museum at SUNY Potsdam; Pierro Gallery, South Orange, New Jersey; and the Alternative Space Gallery, Ramapo College, New Jersey.
Group exhibits include Art in Public Places, Stamford, Connecticut, Gallery Merz, Sag Harbor, New York; Ocean County College, New Jersey; University of Rhode Island in Kingston; and the City Without Walls gallery in Newark, New Jersey. In New York City, Lubliner has participated in exhibits at the Chelsea Art Museum, Makor Gallery, Ernest Rubenstein Gallery, Queens College Art Center, and Gallery OneTwentyEight. Recent performance venues include the Brooklyn Museum and Le Petite Versailles garden in New York City.
