Anne Vieux | WITCHES Artist Residency

posted by Marcroy May 5, 2015

Anne Vieux is part of the WITCHES Artist Residency which began at Mana Contemporary in New Jersey. The three-month collaboration with Eileen Kaminsky Family Foundation (ESKFF) culminated in a month-long rotating exhibition in Brooklyn. Throughout April, the six female artists-in-residence inhabited Stream Gallery, presenting new work they created in Jersey City. Anne Vieux works with light as an effect, process, and image, fluctuating between flat and dimensional. She presents layered prints on plastic and fabric, which pursue a techy minimalist re-enchantment of space. Additionally, her installations become abstract esoteric zones using frames and video to delineate space. Columns made from lenses placed on low-rise plinths simultaneously evoke the permanence of architectural space and become ethereal in their transparent distortion.

WITCHES is a creative agency based in Bushwick, NY, specializing in event production and creative management. By providing platforms for emerging artists and creatives to explore their voice through multiple mediums and projects, WITCHES creates sustainable systems for artists to work within.
