Lead Pencil Studio was founded in 1997 by artist and architects Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo. Based in Seattle, the firm has an “in-between practice” that straddles the divide of art and architecture. The result is art installations with architectural underpinnings, which explore how the built environment affects the emotions and behavior of the viewer.
They received the Van Alen Institute New York Prize in 2010, the Founder’s Rome Prize for Architecture in 2007–2008, and the New York Emerging Voice Award in 2006. Their residencies include Headlands Center for the Arts, MacDowell Colony, and the Center for Land Use Interpretation.
Lead Pencil Studio’s work has most recently been exhibited at Mass Art, Pulse NY Special Projects, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, the Boise Art Museum, the Exploratorium Museum, the University of Texas Austin College of Fine Arts and the American Academy in Rome.
