Ann Lislegaard (b. 1962) is a post-conceptual artist working in spatial installations, 3-D animation, and architectonic interventions. Her art is typified by a fascination with how we experience and orientate ourselves in space and time, both mentally and physically. She often uses fragmentary and mixed narratives in order to challenge our cognitive and sensory abilities. Lislegaard's training was in sculpture and her art often takes the form of simple physical or architectonic interventions that are reinforced or developed through sound, light, or animation. The finished piece is not her primary concern, but rather the notion of breaking down structure. A characteristic of her works is therefore that they often take the form of constructive relativization, frequently with an absence of imagery.
She suggests points of contact between her own artistic vision and classic science-fiction novels in which narratives concerning our understanding of time, gender, and identity are played out in utopian scenarios. Sound, light, and images combine to form an artistic expression that is both appealing and surprising, and which challenges our concepts of time, space, sexuality, and the unknown.
