• New York-based multimedia artist Anne Lindberg makes sculpture and drawings that tap a non-verbaal physiological landscape of body and space, provoking emotional, visceral and perceptual responses. She works with an expanded definition of drawing languages, and is influencing the resurgence of drawing in contemporary art. In works that range from site-specific ‘drawings in space’ made from fine chromatic thread to large-scale drawings of graphite and colored pencil, Lindberg generates experiences that transcend language, slow time, and tap into something at the core of us, with the belief that a kind of alchemy can exist in everyday life. The line as a geometrical shape, central to her works, is formed in drawings as well as textile installations. Practice as a response to the two and three dimensions, conceptualized to question the flow of time, opens a possibility to anchor an experiential effect for the viewers
     
    In recent years, Lindberg has been considering the semiotics of color, or how color can be used as a signifier for meanings associated with socio-emotional, cultural, environmental and political significance. Searching for ways to visualize the mysteries of visual and spatial experience is a compelling way of working especially in times of social, environmental, and economic change.
