Grant Lingard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grant Lingard (1961-1995) was a New Zealand born artist who, although a painting graduate, focused on minimalist sculptural installations. He achieved most recognition with the 1994 ARTNOW exhibition at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. Lingard focused on creating a visual language over the course of his ten year career. Lingard used everyday materials recontextualised into a gallery context, hoping make the viewer see the links he was drawing. His work is conceptually similar to Félix González-Torres
