ALMOND ZIGMUND

Originally from Brooklyn,  Almond received a BFA from Parsons School of Design, in New York and Paris and an MFA from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she studied art theory and criticism with the MacArthur Award-winning critic, Dave Hickey.  

Almond makes large scale site responsive installations, discrete sculptures, works on paper and paintings.  Combining crisp geometry, vivid color, and intricate patterns, her sculptures and installations often suggest walls, barricades, enclosures, and other aspects of the built environment.  The architectonic works tend to engage the eye and the body at once, offering generous amounts of visual stimulation while also inducing visceral reactions to the virtual and actual spaces.   

Zigmund's work has been widely exhibited including shows in Zurich, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Columbus. She has worked with various curators and artists including Dave Hickey, Robert Storr, Alicia Longwell, David Pagel, Andrea Grover, and Leo Villareal. She has completed public and private site-specific installations, including at the Parrish Museum of Art and CMA in New York. She has completed 2 public art commissions for the NYC Dept of Transportation, large scale murals at the The Whitman Walker Health Center in Washington DC, Guild Hall in East Hampton, NY, and the University of Laverne in Los Angeles.
