Tracy Linder

Tracy Linder is a sculptor who grew up on a family farm and continues to live and work on the western prairies near Molt, MT, with her husband, Mike. Her sculptures and installations address relevant issues regarding our indelible connection to the land and the sanctity of our food sources. She is interested in the individual biographies of the mundane; the endurance and perseverance of the vulnerable, as she transforms remnants of animal, plant, human and machine into visceral hybrids that reveal the reciprocal relationships necessary to sustain life.

She received her MFA in 1991 from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and her works have been included in exhibits in New York, St. Louis, Indianapolis and numerous exhibits throughout Montana, Colorado and North Dakota. From 2000-04, Linder was commissioned by the United States General Services Administration Art in Architecture program to create artwork for the new border station at Sweetgrass, MT and Coutts, AB.

In 2009, Linder's work will be included in seven exhibits: 4 solo shows including OK Harris Works of Art in NY; Holter Museum, Helena MT, UW Art Museum, Laramie WY; Gallery of Visual Arts, UM Missoula. And 3 groups shows: Salt Lake Art Center, UT; Sun Valley Center for the Arts, ID; and I.D.E.A. Space, Colorado Springs, CO.

Term: 5/08 – 2/13
