March 3 Ann Trondson is a Birmingham, Alabama-based multidisciplinary artist whose work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, including Salon 94, New York; Louis B. James Gallery, New York; College for Creative Studies, Detroit, MI; MAK Center of Art and Architecture, Los Angelas, CA; and Palm Spring Art Museum, Palm Springs, CA. Each of her rigorously crafted, large-scale projects investigate how our seemingly mundane desires can become something to behold, reconsider, complicate, and subvert as it relates to our own personal subjectivity and memory. She received her MFA from the University of Southern California and currently is the co-director of Vinegar, an artist-run, women-led nonprofit organization exhibiting new commissions from local, regional, and international artists. Vinegar opened its first permanent exhibition space, Vinegar Contemporary in 2020 showcasing artists who are working in emerging and experimental art forms, and art that pushes the boundaries of its medium.
