CSF's Urban Culture Project presents Third Friday Art Downtown 10/16

Charlotte Street Foundation is pleased to present a slide talk by Charlotte Street Foundation Visual Artist Award Fellow Anne Lindberg on Friday, October 16, 5pm at its Urban Culture Project Paragraph gallery, 23 East 12th Street. A nationally acclaimed Kansas City-based artist whose work has been featured in recent exhibitions at The Drawing Center, New York, NY, and The Mill, Newport, NH, and who will have a solo exhibition in 2010 at Cynthia Reeves Gallery, New York, NY, Lindberg will speak about her experience as an artist in residence at Art Omi International Artists Residency program in Upstate New York this past summer.

At Art Omi, Lindberg had the opportunity to work alongside other serious artists from around the world and to gain feedback from a renowned group of visiting artists, critics and curators who visit the program each year. She was among 30 visual artists from some 20 different countries who participated in the program this summer, along with critic-in-residence Frances Richard, who is writer, non-fiction editor of the literary journal Fence, member of the editorial group at Cabinet Magazine, frequent contributor to Artforum, and an educator. Visitors to Art Omi this summer for studio visits and lectures included Christopher Lew, Curator, PS1; Jeff Kastner, writer/critic for Cabinet, Artforum, and the New York Times; Dominique Nahas, critic; Nina Katchadorian, artist; and Claire Barliant, Editor, Modern Painter, among dozens of others.

Through a partnership launched in 2005, one Charlotte Street Visual Artist Award Fellow is annually awarded a three-week residency at Art Omi. The opportunity to live and work in peaceful surroundings yet interact with the contemporary art world produces a unique atmosphere of creativity and dialogue among artists coming from as far away as Iraq and as close as Brooklyn.

Lindberg's Art Omi residency was generously supported by Grubb & Ellis/The Winbury Group, Jim and Susan Moore, Ben & Dawn Williams/Devine Janitorial, Arts KC Fund, and Charlotte Street Foundation.
