Lindsey French
@ The Perch
2230 W Cermak Rd. Chicago, IL 60608
Opening Sunday, February 22nd, from 4PM - 8PM
ACRE Projects and The Perch present an opening reception on Sunday, February 22, 2015 from 4-8pm at 2230 W Cermak Rd, Chicago IL. ACRE has partnered with The Perch to host LINDSEY FRENCH, the next installment in ACRE’s year-long series of solo exhibitions by 2013 ACRE summer residents.
As an ACRE exhibition partner, The Perch is pleased to present the work of Chicago-based artist and 2013 ACRE Resident Lindsey French. French’s work, which is motivated by a “respectful collaboration with the natural world,” uses data-analysis technologies to pull language from thoughtful cross-sections of her surrounding environment. “Attempting impossible conversations,” French produces texts and scores by running character-recognition softwares over photographs of landscape, or on sound files recorded in the company of plants.
As a hybrid domestic and working space, The Perch took on an intriguing character for French, who looked to 19th century chemist and environmentalist Ellen Swallow Richards’ hybrid model of a home-economics and ecology as a source of inspiration. French’s 2015 ACRE Exhibition at The Perch takes the form of interventions and superimpositions, produced during weekly on-site research sessions over the last year.

ACRE (Artists’ Cooperative Residency and Exhibition) was founded in 2010 with the ambition to provide the arts community with an affordable, cooperative, and dialogue-oriented residency program. The residency itself takes place each summer in rural southwest Wisconsin and brings together artists from across disciplines and levels of experience to create a regenerative community of cultural producers. Over the course of the following year ACRE endeavors to further support its residents by providing venues for exhibitions, idea exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration, and experimental projects.
