Minneapolis Institute of Art: The Rural Aesthetic Initiative by Lisa Bergh, exhibition “Topography”

Lisa Bergh, whose colorful, abstract sculptures and assemblages are now on view at Mia “Topography” as part of the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program, never intended to be a rural artist. But for close to 20 years, she has made a life, and a living, as a working artist and arts advocate in New London, Minnesota, 100 miles or so west of Minneapolis. A passionate and committed ambassador for her community, Bergh is the co-founder and co-curator of the Traveling Museum, a mobile art space that brings contemporary art to greater Minnesota. She and her husband, artist Andrew Nordin, collaborate on public art projects under the moniker Rural Aesthetic Initiative.
