Kolman & Reeb Gallery is pleased to present its next Project Space Grant Exhibition, "Imminent Change | Rising Potential by Annie Hejny." A Minneapolis-based artist and environmental activist, Annie’s work strives to celebrate nature’s beauty while simultaneously wrestling with humanity’s devastating impact on the environment.
Annie’s first step for her grant exhibition was a 24-day solo journey circumnavigating Lake Superior, a road trip known as The Circle Tour. During her journey, Annie gathered water samples from the lake that she later mixed with her paints, took photos, and shot video footage that had an influence on the concepts of the pieces created for this show. Researching the history of Lake Superior showed the current state of the lake is more vast and powerful than she could ever hope to fully address in her exhibition. However, she believes any conversation regarding the state of our freshwater sources, such as Lake Superior, is part of the progress towards the future health of fresh water for all.
