Linda Kroff

About

Linda Kroff is a practicing studio artist, photographer, and educator, who received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Kroff's art-making falls into the genres of photography, installation, site-specific community-based projects, performance, and public art. The central concern of her art has always been the nature and complexities of human relations, ranging from the most intimate and personal ("Pillow Talk") to the more sociological and political ("Cotton at the Crossroads," "Proverbs," and "Homeland"). Her photographic and installation works have been shown in many national solo and group exhibitions including the WARM Gallery, Minneapolis, MN; BC Space, Laguna Beach CA; Artemisia Gallery, Chicago, IL; Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Montgomery, AL; the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Winston-Salem, NC; the Art Museum Gallery, Memphis, TN; and TULA, Atlanta, GA. Major public art commissions include permanent works for Bank of America, Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind, and Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport. Her work has been reviewed in national publications including ART PAPERS and New Art Examiner. Among Kroff's grants and awards are a 1994 National Endowment for the Arts Visual Artists Fellowship in Photography, a 1995 North Carolina Artists Project Grant, a 1996 Alternate Visions Grant, and a 1997 SRVAA three month fellowship at the American Academy in Rome. She is a member of SPE, CAA, and Visual Studies Workshop.
