Anne Hardy (born 1970) is a British artist. Her art practice spans photography, sculptural installation and audio.〔http://www.thecommonguild.org.uk/2015/01/anne-hardy/〕 She completed an MA in photography at the Royal College of Art in 2000, having graduated from Cheltenham School of Art in 1993 with a degree in painting. Hardy lives and works in London and is represented by Maureen Paley, London. ==Work== In her sculptural installation work Hardy constructs environments that hover between depiction and abstraction. Staging our encounters with these spaces through careful composition of physical and audio landscapes and precisely controlled perspectives, she immerses us in spaces that are at once functional and illusory.〔http://www.thecommonguild.org.uk/2015/01/anne-hardy/〕 Hardy used to destroy the structures that she made, they were built in her studio, photographed and then discarded.〔http://www.maureenpaley.com/system/assets/files/2785/original/HA-2015-07-08-_The_Independent.pdf〕 and these photographs of structures made in her studio were carefully constructed sets, sculptural assemblages of found objects and hand made marks.〔"Anne Hardy" David Rhodes, ArtForum online, 05.13.13〕 The materials she uses are often objects or junk which she has found in markets, DIY shops, or urban skips and have included antlers, brightly coloured cables, old Christmas trees, light bulbs, American basketballs, balloons, and scientific glassware as well as everyday building materials.〔''Vitamin PH: New Perspectives in Photography'' (2006) by T.J. Demos (Phaidon Press)〕 Other characteristics in her work are unpainted plasterboard on the walls of the rooms and visible foam sealant. Her work ''Lumber'' (2003) for example, where a neglected room houses heaps of old Christmas trees which have been hidden from the world and left to decay. Art writer Charlotte Cotton comments, "The skill of making a photograph such as ''Lumber'' is to avoid overloading the image with obvious signs and allegory, but to maintain a sense, albeit a fabricated one, that we are looking at an observed rather than a meticulously constructed scene. The space looks like a storeroom for unwanted Christmas trees, but the indoor environoment, the menacing shape of the mound of greenery and the thought of what might lie beneath it make for a compelling hovering between what this place might actually be and the unsettling atmosphere within it."〔Page 74-75, ''The Photograph as Contemporary Art'' (2004) by Charlotte Cotton (Thames & Hudson)〕 Hardy's work has been published in ''Vitamin PH: New Perspectives in Photography'' (2006) by Phaidon Press and Charlotte Cotton's book ''The Photograph as Contemporary Art'' as well as magazines including Dazed & Confused, ''The Guardian'', ''Photography Now'', ''Tank'' (magazine) and ''Art Review''. In January 2007, Hardy gave an interview to ''The Guardian'' newspaper on the subject of her image ''Untitled VI'' (2005).〔(Art section of G2 supplement ) ''The Guardian'' 11 January 2007〕 In March 2007, the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), London exhibited Anne Hardy's 2005 work ''Untitled IV (balloons)''. The V&A bought the image for their collection with the help of the Cecil Beaton art fund. In June 2007, three of Hardy's works, ''Booth'' (2006), ''Untitled IV (balloons)'' (2005) and ''Close Range'' (2006), were exhibited at the 52nd International Venice Biennale art festival. The accompanying ''New Forest Pavilion'' exhibition catalogue included the image ''Outpost'' (2007) and a critical essay by John Slyce.〔(Forest Pavilion: 52nd Venice Biennale Art Exhibition'' (2007) Artsway & The Arts Institute at Bournemouth )〕 In April 2008, Hardy had her first USA solo exhibition in New York at Bellwether Gallery. This was followed with Hardy's work being included in a group show at Gagosian Gallery, New York called ''Untitled (Vicarious): Photographing the Constructed Object'' which ran from September until December 2008.〔(Untitled (Vicarious): Photographing the Constructed Object ), Gagosian Gallery, September 2008.〕 Hardy's work was shown in the Helsinki Biennale which ran until 25 January 2009.〔(Bellwether: Gallery News ), Bellwether Gallery, January 2009.〕 In September 2012, Hardy had a solo exhibition at the Secession in Vienna and a substantial monograph was published to accompany the exhibition.〔 (Anne Hardy, artist's monograph. 144 pages, texts by J.G.
