Textiles and Dress

Charlotte Lindgren

Charlotte Lindgren (1 February 1931 – 19 April 2023) was a Canadian sculptor-weaver, installation artist, photographer and curator. Lindgren gained worldwide fame for innovative weaving due to the response to her distinctive installation Aedicule in the 1967 International Biennial of Tapestry in Lausanne, Switzerland. Her architectural textile works—usually large—are single woven planes that transform into three-dimensional forms. They explore the interplay between positive and negative spaces, allowing for dramatic shadows and movement. Lindgren represented Canada abroad many times, and in 2002 was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee Medal. She lived in Winnipeg from 1956 to 1963, then in 1964 moved to Halifax and afterwards to Cape Breton.
