SUMMARY:Engaging Space and Color: Artist Talk with Anne Lindberg (CANCELED)
DESCRIPTION:In this insightful talk\, multi-disciplinary artist Anne Lindberg describes her process of blurring the lines between drawing\, sculpture\, and textiles. \nResponding to architecture\, nature\, and light\, Lindberg is known for her installations of taut threads that create immersive and unexpected environments in response to the architecture of the surrounding space. \nIn 2023\, AMFA commissioned Lindberg to create passage – a stunning installation artwork on view now that transforms a corridor in the Harriet and Warren Stephens Galleries into a vibrant cloud of color. \n\n\nAbout Anne Lindberg\nAnne Lindberg (b. 1962\, Iowa City\, IA) is multi-disciplinary artist who works within expanded definitions of drawing\, sculpture\, and textile in two and three dimensions. \n\n\n\nLindberg just opened a solo exhibition Of all Colors at SECRIST | BEACH in Chicago.

A five-story mirrored glass wall drawing was commissioned for NYU Langone Health’s new women’s health center at the Citicorp Building in New York\, NY\, completed in 2023. Lindberg completed a commission by the GSA Art-in-Architecture program at the Richard Bolling Federal Office Building in Kansas City (2013). \n\n\n\nLindberg is currently working on a large-scale public commission\, titled viridis\, for the Des Moines International Airport\, completion late 2026. \n\n\n\nLindberg’s work is also held in the collections of the Nevada Museum of Art\, Everson Museum of Art\, Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts\, Akron Art Museum\, Detroit Institute of Art\, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art\, Daum Museum of Contemporary Art\, The Rachofsky Collection\, Collection of Christy and Bill Gautreaux\, Spencer Museum of Art\, NYSE Chicago\, Federal Reserve Bank Kansas City\, Niwako Kimono Company\, among many others. \n\n\n\nLindberg’s first monograph was released in late 2022 by Durer Editions (Dublin\, Ireland). \n\n\n\nLindberg is recipient of awards including a 2011 Painters & Sculptors Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant\, Charlotte Street Foundation Fellowship\, two ArtsKC Fund Inspiration Grants\, Lighton International Artists Exchange grant\, Art Omi International Artists Residency\, American Institute of Architects Allied Arts and Crafts award\, and Mid-America National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship.

Walton Foundation. \nAnne Lindberg: passage is presented by Terri and Chuck Erwin with additional support from the Lenore G. Tawney Foundation.
