“Threads: Anne Lindberg + H.L. Hix” Reviewed in The Daily Catch

September 27, 2026

Stretched taut from wall to wall at ‘T’ Space’s Archive Gallery are thousands of fine yellow fibers, crossing the space in parallel as if a sunbeam pierced right through the building. All around the room, fragments of poetry float across the walls, each conveying language in a glistening lowercase script.

One reads: “Let these thread lines join light to color. Let them tie my attention tight to the night sky’s silence. Let them connect you and me.”

The exhibition on view, “Threads,” is a culmination of more than three decades of creative dialogue between Ancramdale visual artist Anne Lindberg and Wyoming poet H. L. Hix. The title refers to Lindberg’s material of choice as well as Hix’s strings of language. Both maintain a consistent length: Lindberg’s threads all run the same span across the gallery, whereas each of Hix’s poems measures exactly 30 syllables.

“A customary length in English, a length comfortable to say in one breath, is ten syllables,” Hix wrote of the installation. “Tripling that length is a way to draw words into a verbal thread as cotton is drawn into a material thread.”

The exhibition space, designed by architect Steven Holl and set in a building that also houses his archive, increases the dynamism of Lindberg’s midair sculpture. The tonality of the work shifts as viewers walk around and under the threads; they are responsive to the inconsistent qualities of natural light filtering through the space’s many windows.

“Together, the threads engage the constantly changing light and shadow conditions in Steven Holl’s architecture to create a dynamic, evocative environment for the viewer,” writes ‘T’ Space director and curator Susan Wides.

While on site, visitors can also peruse Holl’s prodigious archive of more than 1,200 architectural models, 4,400 books, and 20,000 watercolors.
