Labor of Love Exhibition | Ruben + Isabel Toledo | Detroit Institute of Arts

I was invited by the Detroit Institute of the Arts to attend the press preview to cover the exhibition prior to the public opening. It was an amazing opportunity to meet the artists behind the work and hear what the exhibit meant to them.
Opening Sunday, December 16, 2018 in the Special Exhibition Galleries at the Detroit Institute of Arts is Ruben + Isabel Toledo's, "Labor of Love."
The Detroit Institute of the Arts invited the creative team of Isabel and Ruben Toledo to create artistic works derived from the exhibits found throughout the DIA. The result is impressive, enigmatic and bursting at the seams with creative energy. 
The exhibition is a three part interpretive journey based on the Diego Murals, spontaneous exhibits, or "interventions," created as a visual response to pieces found throughout the museum, and a collaboration with Detroit-based non-profit Sew Great Detroit. 

These works came together to formulate an unprecedented view into the artists creative and collaborative process, resulting in the finished pieces-- their Labor of Love.

​This exhibition presents itself as a visual commentary of works from the past, bringing them into view in a modern context. The work highlights the broad range of influences and creates a impactful view of two artists that are not limited by convention. Each piece speaks volumes, and it is up to the viewer to interpret the message.

The artists creative response allows visitors to engage with the museum in new ways and make connections between old and new interpretations of art resulting in an unprecedented dialogue between art and observer. 

Labor of Love will be open to the public on Sunday, December 16, 2018 and will be on view in the Special Exhibition Gallery until July 7, 2019.
