Suspension, my exhibition of photographs, opened at Syracuse University's Menschel Gallery as part of the Intermissions project. The photographs, all 12"x12" pigment prints mounted in 22" round frames, are images of clouds taken between 2000-06 from commercial flights. Although a few have been sold to corporate clients in Kansas City, this is only the second time they have ever been shown as a group.

photo windows at SU

By Barry Anderson on July 16, 2009 10:08 AM | No Comments

Syracuse University asked us to project one of my videos onto large windows in their student center. However, after looking at all of the technical possibilities and problems with the space, we decided to propose covering the windows with vinyl photo material instead. Everyone involved loved the mockup so, depending on price, we may cover more than one of the windows.

Pigeon, a single-channel video of mine, has been picked by curator Debora Ryan to be shown at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse this summer. The solo exhibition, running July 25 to August 30, will be the kick-off to my larger series of exhibitions at Syracuse University and around the city of Syracuse. This project, titled Intermissions, will begin August 14 in the main gallery at Light Work and will continue with other exhibitions and events through October.

opening at Salina Art Center

My new video, Always Becoming Something (3), opened this week at the Salina Art Center. It was commissioned by the SAC and is comprised of video portraits of 27 residents of Salina, KS. The exhibition runs until May 7, 2009.

The video is the third in an on-going series of videos depicting people in various art communities. The first two were created with art students at Syracuse University while I was in residency at Light Work.

location scouting in Syracuse

By Barry Anderson on October 10, 2008 9:22 PM | No Comments

Light Work director Hannah Frieser and I spent about five hours today scouting locations for my exhibition coming up at Light Work in 2009. We visited Syracuse University's Art Galleries, Warehouse Gallery, Point of Contact, Delavan Art Gallery, and Spark, as well as numerous buildings around SU's campus which have public LCD screens. Our thought is to install video "interventions" at various spots around the city and campus. These interventions could take the form of projections on the sides of buildings or small LCD monitors installed in conspicuous places.

self-portaits revisited

By Barry Anderson on September 14, 2008 4:41 PM | No Comments

I did a few self-portraits in this vein during a residency at Light Work in October 2006. I'm now thinking about revisiting this series for my exhibition at Light Work coming up in August 2009.
