Anne Lindberg Creates A Cloud of Cotton Thread at Carrie Secrist Gallery
A few days ago I stopped by Carrie Secrist Gallery here in Chicago to discover a new thread installation from Kansas City-based artist Anne Lindberg (previously) called Zip Drawing. The piece was created by stapling taunt strands of Egyptian cotton thread in a meticulous yet seemingly haphazard fashion between opposing gallery walls resulting in an ethereal field of suspended color. Although these photos by Derek Porter do a great job of conveying the hue and scale of the piece (35 feet at its widest) it’s hard to feel the magnitude and energy of the piece without standing right in front of it.
{This Prewar Park Ave pad is anything but drab; it’s colorful, vibrant & gorgeous. And I love Christina Murphy’s use of stand out pieces that really make a room!}
{I adore the high-gloss walls, super chic dark chevron floors, and the way the white woodwork just POPS in the space.}
{What a jewel box of a dining room!}

“These pieces is a 3 dimensional exercise in light, clarity and texture with a play upon subtly. With distance the work appears as spherical forms drifting in a sea of openness. Further examination and in close detail there is a fluid shifting movement of color, form, and transmittance.”
Very inspiring work.
{I’m pretty sure I’ve reblogged this before, but now I’ve got information about it - this is by artist Jim Lambie. Using everyday vinyl tape, Lambie creates works of art, which you can walk on. Different colors, angles, and shapes come together to create optical illusions and a sense of interaction between the art and the viewer. his floor installation is full of energy and color. This energy is much needed because, the corridor is quite dark and serious. }
{Saturated colours, fun lighting, large artwork, and great sculptural elements.}

Nicky Assmann’s ‘Solace’ Art Installation Explores the Iridescent Qualities of Soap
If you’ve ever been completely mesmerized by the amazing colors that appear on soap bubbles, then you will love Nicky Assmann’s award-winning Solace art installation. Comprised of a mechanical device that gradually slides a long swath of soapy film (made up of glycerol and water, mostly) upwards from a flat platform along with a sophisticated array of lights, the demonstration reveals how the film refracts light as gravity pulls the heavier water down
