March 6 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
In this insightful talk, multi-disciplinary artist Anne Lindberg describes her process of blurring the lines between drawing, sculpture, and textiles.
Responding 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.
In 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.
