Nava Lubelski has received grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and the New York Foundation for the Arts and has exhibited widely in the U.S. and in Europe. Her work is about hybridizing seemingly opposite ideas, such as art/craft, conceptual/formal and destructive/creative. Lubelski focuses on the contradictions and commonalities between the impulse to destroy and the compulsion to mend, juxtaposing rapid acts of destruction, such as spilling, shredding and cutting, with painstaking, restorative labor.
