The sculpture of Jane Frees-Kluth opens a dialogue with science as it begins to reshape human physiology. These works are inspired by a 21st century relationship to the human body. As lab workers worldwide begin to manipulate and evolve the human genome what roll will artists play? These works ask important questions about our species' future. Playing equally with our sense of the whimsical and divine, they inspire the viewer to rethink the relationship of the human figure to the mythology of modern times.
A sculptor trained in architectural design, Frees-Kluth is a long-time public artist whose commissioned works are on view in the Twin Cities and surrounding suburbs. Her sculpture has also been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions over the past ten years. In addition, Frees-Kluth is a paintings conservator for TMORA, the Museum of Russian Art.
All events at the Augsburg Art Galleries are free and open to the general public.
