ANN SHOSTROM
Assistant Professor of Art
Ann Shostrom is an artist who lives in New York City. Her paintings and
installations play within the seams of various fine art and craft traditions.
Layers of fabric are dyed, bleached, painted, and sewn together, with
holes or transparent fabrics obscuring and revealing images which are
imprinted from articles of clothing and household linens. By substituting
dyes for paint, she joins abstract painting processes to the long history
of domestic labor. She has shown internationaly at galleries and museums
and is represented by Catherine Chapin, Fine Art, NewYork.
Last year Shostrom curated Trunk Show at PSU’s Zoller Gallery. In
1999 she curated Archipeligo, an Intimate Immensity, a collaborative installation.
First shown at Arti et Amicitciae in Amsterdam, it will be recreated
for the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art in 2001. Shostrom’s published
writing includes catalog and review essays.
