Anna Kunz is an artist who makes works on paper, paintings, sculptures, installations and projects that seep out of the rectangle, often using painted and dyed fabrics that function like nets to capture and manipulate light and color. These experiential works are often com- bined with objects or surfaces that add com- plexity and invite viewers to structure the space in time by walking through them.

Her work has been included in numerous national and international collections. Ms. Kunz has had exhibitions in Los Angeles, Hous- ton, Brooklyn, San Antonio and the UK and Poland. Recent exhibitions include at LVL3 in Chicago, curated by Andrew Blackley of Golden Gallery, White Box’s Ai Wei Wei exhibition/fundraiser, Portable Caves by HKJB Brooklyn, Chain Letter at Samson Projects, MA and The Outdoor Banner Project for the Smart Museum on the University of Chicago’s campus. In 2010, she was a resident artist in the Marie Walsh Sharpe Studio Program in NYC.

Anna has worked collaboratively with danc- ers and musicians to create Décor for theatrical and dance productions, namely for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company in 2009. Quarterly, Kunz presents curated group exhibitions and events in the experimental space that she co-runs with Niels Vis in Amster- dam. The space, KUNZ, VIS, Projects features events that pair local, contemporary work in many creative forms with complimentary work

from around the globe. In addition, she has served as a curatorial advisor and brain- stormer for several organizations and artists.

Anna Kunz has been nominated for a Louis Comfort Tiffany Award, Richard H. Drie- haus Award, and an Emerging Artist award from the National Museum of Women in the Arts in WA, D.C, and, this year, is nominated for the Rema Hort Mann Foundation’s Individual Artists Grant in New York City.

Anna lives in Chicago, where she teaches in the Art and Design Department of Columbia College, and works in her studios in Brooklyn and Chicago.
