review in The Pitch
A short (and somewhat literal and simple-minded) review of the group exhibition currently up at The Studios Inc. was published in The Pitch today. The writer warns of Deep Down Trauma Hounds being uninteresting to people concerned with the financial crisis. Bizarre.
Junk Yard on view in Dallas
Junk Yard, a recent single-channel video of mine, is currently on display in the video room at Marty Walker Gallery in Dallas. The exhibition opened tonight and will be on view through February 11, 2012. Junk Yard will also be featured in an upcoming solo exhibition of mine at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.
new multi-channel video
Deep Down Trauma Hounds, a new five-channel video piece of mine, is currently on display in the annual group exhibition at The Studios Inc. exhibition space. The piece contains appropriated video clips from 1970s European horror films which create an unsettling, ritualistic experience. The piece will be on view through February 2012.
Black Bamboo catalog
I was chosen as one of six Kansas City-based artists to be highlighted in the new Black Bamboo catalog. Black Bamboo is a modern furnishing company in KC with strong ties to the local art community. Other artists featured in the catalog are Peregrine Honig, Archie Scott Gobber, Marcie Miller Gross, Anne Lindberg, and Roger Shimomura.
showing at Aqua Art in Miami
A selection of my videos will be shown by Walter Maciel Gallery in room 227 at Aqua Art 2011 in Miami Beach this week, December 1-4.
Kemper exhibit reviewed in KC Star
A very nice review of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art‘s The Big Reveal exhibit by Alice Thorson was published today in the Kansas City Star. Here’s an excerpt from the article…
“The museum purchased Anderson’s Janus (2) and the artist made a gift of his video Pigeon made in 2001.
Consisting of close-up footage of a single bird lifting its beak to drink from a stream of water, it’s a quietly lyrical work, celebrating avian determination in the face of human encroachment. Although we don’t see them, the soundtrack captures the murmur of many people close by.”
Artboards in KC Star
I just found out that there was a nice little write-up about my MOBank Artboards by Alice Thorson in the Kansas City Star back in September. Here’s an excerpt from the article…
“Anderson, a member of the art faculty at UMKC, is on a roll this season, with works on view in the “Thee & Me” exhibits at both the Epsten and Greenlease Galleries. He will also have two videos in the Kemper Museum‘s “The Big Reveal” show, opening Sept. 23.
On the west-facing “Artboards” at the Missouri Bank Crossroads branch, 125 Southwest Blvd., Anderson will show two images from his new video “Junk Yard.” Featuring fragments of people, animals and objects drawn from mid-20th century advertising, the works tap consumer nostalgia for an earlier more prosperous America.”
Bloom projection at Nerman Museum
Bloom (Brilliant) was projected on the facade of the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art last night for the semi-annual benefit auction, Beyond Bounds.
