LISA LOFGREN Vol. I Movement Toward The Open

LISA LOFGREN

Vol. I Movement Toward The Open

May 13 – Jun 4

Solo Exhibit

 
The Lincoln Arts Institute will feature various prints and constructions by Lisa Lofgren. The exhibition Vol. I Movement Toward the Open will run May 13 through June 4, 2021 with photographs, influences, and writings by Matt Erickson; constructions and assistance by Ava Erickson.
Combining book forms, waxed photo transfers, 167 year old remains of home restorations, clay constructions, and discarded printing artifacts, the variety of materials tell of a collection of knowledge through time. She questions, “Are the sacred and profane or the archaic and present moments really that different from one another?” Lofgren relies on the materials and constructions to have the potential to convey truths we can learn through observing and questioning if we ourselves are open.”
Lisa is an artist, educator, and founder of Together Press, a community printmaking and papermaking facility in coordination with cometogetherstudios in Bloomington, Illinois. The art fun-house provides studios, classes, resources, mentorship, and camaraderie through various creative means and is where she calls home. Lofgren received a BFA from the University of Wyoming, her home state, and an MFA from Illinois State University where she has served as registrar for University Galleries since 2018.
