Floating in Three Acts

Grantees
Keren Anavy
Amelie A. Wallace Gallery, SUNY (State University of New York), Old Westbury, NY
March 25–April 30, 2026
Exhibition Grant

Comprising three site-specific installations, “Floating in Three Acts” marks Keren Anavy’s most significant presentation in the United States to date. The exhibition brings together drawing, painting, laser cutting, sculpture, video, and sound to create a multisensory environment.

Drawing on the artist’s personal experiences of migration and profound loss, the exhibition reflects on memory, identity, and the fragile boundary between inner reflection and external circumstances.

Divided into three acts—The Garden (irrigation), The Ocean (flooding), and Water Channels (floating)—the exhibition uses water as a central metaphor for personal reflection, ecological transformation, and the fluid movement between cultivation, submergence, and drift. As a whole, the installation bridges the personal and the universal, weaving an intimate narrative of loss and resilience with broader reflections on identity, memory, and ecological change.
