Ann Lislegaard

Murray Guy is delighted to announce the first solo exhibition in the USA of Ann Lislegaard.

Continuously investigating cognitive patterns and synoptic connections with sound and light, Ann Lislegaard's work teases the transitive senses and the acoustic abilities of her viewers. Catching the in-between layer of perception and cognition, she links the physical and psychological realm, using the body of the viewer like an oscillator: Barbara Clausen.

In the sound/light installation Corner Piece - The Space Between Us, an architectural construction of a corner is set up as the double of a real corner in the gallery space. A female voice describes a woman and a meeting place. A throbbing light source behind the constructed walls visually emulates the spoken words and emphasizes the physical space of the room. In a non-linear narrative, words and sentences are repeated and layered, reiterated and echoed. The voice is constantly changing, not only in pulse and rhythm, but also in person: from I, to you, to her, as if in dialogue with itself and the viewer. Cool, objective descriptions of the physical merge with highly subjective observations of the imaginary.

Ann Lislegaard has had solo exhibitions at Dundee Contemporary Arts, Dundee, Scotland, The National Museum of Photography, Copenhagen, Denmark, the Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo, Norway and the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden. In the United States her work has been seen in Thin Skin, AXA Gallery, New York, HUMID, The Moore Building, Miami and Audible Imagery, Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago.
