"Accelerations" is a multidisciplinary installation by Lisa Beth Robinson. She is interested in interconnectedness and vanishings, particularly regarding the environment. Her work is propelled by the unexpected lines she sees sewing the universe together. Sometimes close, sometimes loose, there are parallels and commonalities to be found. Bringing these threaded lines to light weaves a space where viewers can see themselves as part of a larger whole. She wants viewers to see that they have meaning, connection, and agency over life’s outcomes.
Robinson is a professor at the School of Art and Design at East Carolina University. She is the proprietor of Somnambulist Tango Press, where she makes artists' books, broadsides, fine art, installations, and curates exhibitions. She is a member of the Catching a Wave collective, a group of interdisciplinary researchers from universities based in the U.S., U.K., and the Netherlands, who combine expertise in environmental and social sciences with mixed media, fine arts, and poetry. Her research presents Colony Collapse Disorder as the metaphor for global sociopolitical acts.
Her work has been exhibited across the country and is part of the collections of the New York Public Library, the University of Chicago, Brown University, Emory University, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
