Lindsey French
Libra Assistant Professor of Art
Lindsey French is an artist, educator and writer, earning an interdisciplinary BA in Environment, Interaction, and Design from Hampshire College in 2010, and an MFA in Art and Technology Studies in 2013 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Lindsey’s research-based practice draws from media studies, olfactory art, and plant studies and takes form as multi-sensory video installations, radio and scent transmissions, and collaborative socially-engaged art projects.
Lindsey has shared work widely in museums, galleries, screenings, and D.I.Y. art spaces, including the Ontario College of Art & Design’s Onsite Gallery (Toronto, Canada), SixtyEight Art Institute (Copenhagen, Denmark), and the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (Gimpo, South Korea). Publications include chapters for Ambiguous Territory: Architecture, Landscape, and the Postnatural (Actar, 2022) and Olfactory Art and the Political in an Age of Resistance (Routledge, 2021), and an Open Educational Resource book, Listening as a Shared and Social Practice, co-edited with Kate Joranson (University of Regina, 2024).
