Live-work at 17 Cox

Live-work is part obstacle course, part habitrail and part modular home. As both a lacrosse coach and a studio supervisor, Amy Archambault is interested in combining the human drive for athleticism and artistic expression. Her installations encourage others to do the same. Live-work turns 17 Cox into an arena for both spectatorship and participation. Visitors can choose to either observe her bright, colorful constructions as sculpture or take off their shoes and participate in the various obstacles. Multiple pathways through the gallery are designed for different levels of engagement and Archambault includes demonstration videos of her performances. Visitors are encouraged to "work out" in the gallery during the exhibition, and even submit their scores in a time trial during the March 6 reception. This installation at 17 Cox funded in part by the 2013 Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship Grant in Sculpture / Installation.

Amy Archambault received her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania, PA in 2011 and BA in Studio Art and Psychology from the College of the Holy Cross, MA in 2008 where she is currently a lecturer.
