A new thread installation from Kansas City-based artist Anne Lindberg called Zip Drawing at Carrie Secrist Gallery in Chicago. 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. The exhibition runs through October 20 and also includes a number of her colored pencil drawings.
