Ann Lislegaard

Ann Lislegaard (born 1962 in Norway) is a contemporary artist living and working in Copenhagen, Denmark and New York, US. She is known for her 3D film animations and sound-light installations often departing from ideas found in science fiction. She finds in Science fiction an alternative approach to language, narration, gender roles and concepts of the future. Her latest solo exhibition was at Murray Guy Gallery in New York, November 2014. ^[1]
