Tuesday Night Lecture Series: Anne Wu

As part of the Tuesday Night Lecture Series (TNLS) BU College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts presents a lecture with artist Anne Wu, organized by MFA Sculpture. Anne Wu (b. 1991, New York, NY) makes sculptures and installations that draw from the material culture and architectural vernacular of Chinese immigrant neighborhoods. Referencing familiar structures, such as doors, windows, stairs, and railings, her works riff on existing built environments through fragmentation, abstraction, and rearticulation. Recent solo exhibitions include There Is No Far and No Near at Smack Mellon (Brooklyn, NY) and A Dream Walking at Real Art Ways (Hartford, CT). Wu’s work has been shown in group exhibitions at YveYANG Gallery (New York, NY), island gallery (New York, NY), Asia Art Archive in America (Brooklyn, NY), M23 (New York, NY), The Shed (New York, NY), The Mattatuck Museum (Waterbury, CT), and Shaker Museum | Mount Lebanon (New Lebanon, NY), among others. She was an artist-in-residence at the Smack Mellon Artist Studio Program from 2021 to 2022 and the NARS Satellite Residency on Governors Island in 2020. Her work has been published in The New York Times, Art in America, Hyperallergic, and Curbed. In 2022, she was awarded a Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grant. Originally from Flushing, New York, Wu currently lives and works in New Haven, Connecticut. She received an MFA in Sculpture from Yale University in 2020 and a BFA from Cornell University in 2013. TNLS visiting artists are organized by SVA’s five MFA programs in Painting, Sculpture, Print Media & Photography, Graphic Design, and Visual Narrative. TNLS brings practicing artists, designers, and arts professionals to Boston University to present their work and meet with students for individual and group critiques and hands-on workshops. Lectures are free and open to the public.
