Grant Lingard

Grant Lingard (1961–1995) was a New Zealand born artist who, although a painting graduate, focused on minimalist sculptural installations. During his life he "was considered by many to be New Zealand's leading gay visual artist"[1]

Lingard achieved note with the 1994 ARTNOW exhibition at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. He was also involved in the Tales Untold project. Lingard focused on creating a visual language over the course of his ten-year career. Lingard used everyday materials recontextualised into a gallery context, hoping make the viewer see the links he was drawing. His work is conceptually similar to Félix González-Torres.

Lingard died in 1995 of AIDS-related complications.[2] A scholarship in his name is offered at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand.
