Omi International Arts Center is pleased to announce fold and unfold, a new solo exhibition by internationally exhibited multi-media artist, Ancramdale resident and Art Omi alumnus, Anne Lindberg.
Anne Lindberg's sculptures and drawings tap a non-verbal physiological landscape of body and space, which often provoke emotional, visceral and perceptual responses. Lindberg works with an expanded definition of drawing languages, and is influenced by the resurgence of drawing in contemporary art. fold and unfold is part of Lindberg’s new series, Building Drawings, which blurs the lines between drawing, sculpture, textiles and conceptual art on an architectural scale. Drawn graphite fields anchor room-sized installations created in fine chromatic thread to create a subtle, rhythmic, abstract, and immersive optical and spatial phenomenon that shifts the physical and emotional geographies of both the space and viewer.
Lindberg writes, “within the quiet reserve and formal abstraction is a strong impulse to speak from a deep place within myself about that is private, vulnerable, fragile, and perceptive to the human condition. My work is a mirror of how I experience the world. As I map the surface of the work, negotiating physicality, optics and ideas through drawing languages, my voice withholds, blurs, teases and veils.”
