Color for the People is a site-specific installation that is an exploration of color and taste. Rosenberg’s process begins with a daily routine of observing colors outdoors and capturing them with her smartphone camera. Each week, she will select a color from Charlotte’s landscape and apply it to the gallery walls and furniture to create an immersive color-field painting and meditative space. To deepen visitors’ sensory engagement with her project, Rosenberg will host a series of “Color Bar” events over the course of her residency: On selected Thursday evenings, she will serve cocktails and treats to match the color of the week, encouraging the public to reflect on the relationships between experiences of color, flavor, and people.
