AnnieLaurie Erickson in residence at YADDO and exhibiting in Seattle, Providence and Budapest

AnnieLaurie Erickson, the Ellsworth Woodward Junior Professor in Studio Art, was awarded a residency at YADDO in Saratoga Springs, NY, where she is currently working. Her photographs have been included in a number of exhibitions.

The PCNW 21st Juried Photography Exhibition at the Photographic Center Northwest, Seattle, juried by Sandra Phillips, Curator Emeritus, SF MOMA is on view March 27 – June 11, 2017. Unseen: Photography Beyond the Visible at the Providence Center for Photographic Arts in Rhode Island is on view April 20 – May 13, 2017. Punctum at the PH21 Gallery in Budapest, Hungary is on view March 9 – April 4, 2017.

This year Erickson received a $49,000 ATLAS grant from the Louisiana Board of Regents. The Awards to Louisiana Artists and Scholars (ATLAS) program provides support for major scholarly and artistic productions with potential to have a broad impact on a regional and/or national level.  This funding allowed Erickson to travel to major data centers in Europe this past fall and to expand on her project, Data Shadows, a photographic investigation into the physical apparatus of the Internet and digital surveillance.
