Leonor Antunes’ research-based practice involves the investigation of international modernist design and architecture of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as diverse craft traditions, with particular attention to under-recognized women practitioners in these fields. The grid has played an important role in many of her projects—her interest for this structure derived not only from its role in architectural practice, but also its prevalence in the work of several innovative modernist artists and designers. In Anni #5, the artist pays homage to the modernist designer Anni Albers. Both Anni Albers (1899–1994) and her husband Joseph Albers (1888–1976) formed part of the renowned German Bauhaus school of the 1920s and 30s, which emphasized a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of art, architecture and design. Anni Albers created woven textiles using geometric patterns, many of which were influenced by indigenous textiles of Mexico and Peru. With her project, Antunes references two of Albers’ open-grid textile patterns, using thin brass tubing, producing two gold net-like forms that hang floating off the wall over two brass bars.
