With over a decade of experience in the arts, Lindsay Aveilhé has served as a curator, art advisor & consultant, writer, and gallery director in the US and internationally. She is Editor of the Sol LeWitt Wall Drawings Catalogue Raisonné and is contributing author to Locating LeWitt: Between Mind and Body (Yale University Press). As an authority in art and technology, she was the co-creator of the Sol LeWitt mobile app (2020) and the online immersive experience Being Sol (2022) made in collaboration with the LeWitt Estate and Microsoft, and serves on the board of Art Blocks, one of the most successful commercial platforms for generative digital art. Lindsay has curated exhibitions around the world, from retrospectives of LeWitt's work at esteemed institutions like the Reykjavik Art Museum to thematic exhibitions that aim to center voices and stories otherwise on the periphery. Influenced by her expertise in Conceptual art, Aveilhé's curatorial projects investigate artmaking as a response to our political and socio-cultural condition.
Returning to her hometown of Tulsa in 2021, Lindsay embarked on a mission to immerse herself in Oklahoma's artistic ecosystem, rooting her curatorial practice in a responsiveness to locality and community, as well as the restorative power of storytelling through art. Aveilhé passionately champions local artists while actively nurturing connections across the region and world. Her methodology aims to enhance the richness of Oklahoma's artistic landscape by working directly with its artists to produce public art commissions and curate exhibitions that contextualize and elevate their work. Beyond local initiatives, Aveilhé's impact extends globally through co-founding TNUA Collective, which produces interdisciplinary collaborative initiatives in the arts. Noteworthy projects include a collaboration with artist Ibrahim Maham and SCCA Tamale in Ghana and a residency with the world-renowned artist Delcy Morelos in Faenza, Italy.
The artist appeals to that part of our being…which is a gift and not an acquisition—and, therefore, more permanently enduring.
