Working closely with the architectural space that APEX inhabits, Fritz has created a site-specific installation that responds to various points of corners, walls, and the floor, taking signals from furniture that allude to tables, cabinets, or other ergonomic forms. Juxtaposing these controlled spaces, Fritz brings in natural elements and forms, particularly through her video and light pieces referencing the movements of bees, birds, cats, moths, and butterflies. Fritz\u2019s own research, dedicated to such seemingly disparate subjects as architectural sites and the motions of bees, forms a strange and intriguing marriage in her work, opening up questions of what defines the natural and made worlds\u2014where do science and superstition meet, and how do we negotiate our constructed realities to that of the unknown?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based in Portland, Fritz creates installations noted for the psychological interplay between space and objects. She has exhibited her work nationally, including at the Des Moines Art Center, Iowa; Reed College, Portland; SOIL, Seattle; Aljira Center for Contemporary Art, Newark, New Jersey; University of Oregon; and the Couture Stipend Series solo show at New American Art Union in Portland. Fritz is also the recipient of an Oregon Arts Commission Individual Artist Fellowship in Visual Arts (2014). She holds a BFA from Drake University and also attended Pacific Northwest College of Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>APEX is an ongoing series of exhibitions of Northwest-based artists, curated by Grace Kook-Anderson, The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art. The APEX exhibition series is supported in part by The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Endowments for Northwest Art and the Exhibition Series Sponsors.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns resource-card-image hover-cards is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns hover-card is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-disable-lightbox\" data-gallery-name=\"\" data-modal-description=\"\" data-modal-title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"677\" data-full-size=\"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/APEX-Laura-Fritz-Brochure-3.jpg\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%;\" src=\"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/APEX-Laura-Fritz-Brochure-3.jpg\" alt=\"Laura Fritz Apex Gallery view\" class=\"wp-image-7311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/APEX-Laura-Fritz-Brochure-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/APEX-Laura-Fritz-Brochure-3-700x474.jpg 700w, https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/APEX-Laura-Fritz-Brochure-3-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/APEX-Laura-Fritz-Brochure-3-900x609.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pambb.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/APEX-Laura-Fritz-Brochure.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Exhibition brochure<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button hover-card__link is-style-download\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/APEX-Laura-Fritz-Brochure.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" aria-describedby=\"opens-in-new-window\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Laura Fritz combines an immersive installation and video-based work for her contribution to the APEX exhibition series.
