NYAB Event - Anne Lindberg and Johnny Swing Exhibition

Anne Lindberg and Johnny Swing Exhibition

CYNTHIA-REEVES

This event has ended.

In Anne Lindberg's large-scale works, the artist creates meticulous, abstract drawings as rendered in discrete graphite lines on cotton board. The line's pitch and modulation plays with one's field of vision, creating a dynamic flux and a rich array of perceptions. This optical illusion of movement, albeit subtle, results from Lindberg's variance in line density, alignment and mis-alignment, physical pressure and the drawings' sheer scale. As one views the work, there is a reverberation, a sense of kineticism, of vertigo and of suspended time and motion. The systematic nature of the work also brings to bare reference to seismographic charts, waveforms, medical imaging and musical notation.
Swing's sinuous chaise lounge, which was included in the Museum of Art and Design's exhibition Second Lives, is the most recent of a series of functional artworks made of materials that hold a vastly different function, an approach that is at the core of this artist's inquiry. In this instance, the piece is composed of hundreds of quarters, carefully welded together and supported by a stainless steel armature, beautiful in its own right.
