Lisa Liedgren Alexandersson (b. 1966 Lund, Sweden) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Seattle. Working in a range of media; painting, weaving, drawing and photography, her practice investigates themes of materiality and identity through the lens of cultural language and the formation of social systems. With a studio practice that is both contemplative and composed with formal and conceptual rigor, subject matter goes hand-in-hand with the study of mind/body in relationship to materiality.
She is the founder of Weaving Pavilion, an experimental meeting place, a site for collective contemplation aiming to foster knowledge exchange between art practice and the general public. In this ongoing initiative Seattle residents are invited to learn how to weave in communal settings. The initiative began as experimental weaving workshops in Seattle Public Park Library branches in 2019. The project premiered in 2020 in Seattle public parks with support from 4Culture.
Lisa Liedgren Alexandersson is a graduate of École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts (Paris) and Beckmans College of Design (Stockholm). She is a two-time finalist of the Betty Bowen Award, a recipient of Artist Trust GAP grant, 4Culture Project Grant, PONCHO Special Recognition Award and a grantee of the French Ministry of Cultural and Foreign Affairs. In 2021 she was selected by Seattle Office for Arts & Culture as part of an artist team to create a temporary public artwork for Seattle Public Utilities Ship Canal Water Quality Project. Her work has been exhibited in the US and Canada at Seattle Art Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, Whatcom Museum and L'Oeil De Poisson. Her work is featured in museum and private collections including Seattle Art Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, Microsoft Art Collection, and Seattle University.
