Greg Lindquist’s work examines the intersection of landscape, industry, and environmental change through painting, video, and research-based practice. Drawing on long-term projects including the Newtown Creek series in Brooklyn and more recent wildfire paintings, his work considers how contemporary landscapes are shaped by infrastructure, the forces of gentrification, extraction, and atmospheric conditions.

 

A reception will follow in the Design Library in Brooks Hall, where Lindquist’s Study for Newtown Creek Series will be newly installed and on view as part of the NC State College of Design collection.

 

Working between studio practice and field research, Lindquist documents sites where ecological systems and industrial processes overlap—locations where air, water, and built structures form complex environmental relationships. These investigations often involve collaboration with scientists, environmental organizations, and local communities, producing works that move between observation, documentation, mapping, and reimagined abstraction.

The lecture will trace the development of these projects over the past two decades, from early paintings of Brooklyn’s gentrification, essay-film experiments, to recent work addressing climate-driven wildfires. The talk coincides with the installation of Lindquist’s painting Study for Newtown Creek Series in the NC State College of Design Library.
