Anne Krinsky: From Absorb to Zoom / An Alphabet of Actions in the Women’s Art Library is a site-specific digital print installation with content derived from materials in the Women’s Art Library at Goldsmiths College. The archive, started in the late 1970's as an artist-led initiative to enhance public knowledge of the practice, impact and achievement of women in the visual arts, houses unique documentation of women artists’ works. Krinsky’s installation takes inspiration from archived slides, artists’ books, magazines, monographs and posters.
Krinsky is a painter and printmaker who creates site-specific installations in response to archived collections. Her previous installations with archives have been exhibited in library, museum and university settings in the US. This is her first installation with a UK archive and is funded by Arts Council England.
In tandem with the installation, Krinsky has invited selected artists with documentation in the Women’s Art Library to send her images of recent work to post on The Virtual Archive on the project blog:
