installation in progress

Installation for the new exhibition SpaceRockSpasm is going well. My assistant Adam and I got a good bit set up yesterday. The monitors are all mounted so all that remains on the video portion of the installation is running the remaining cabling. I then have to mount a few dozen speaker components and run the wiring. Hopefully I’ll be done with installation in a couple of days.

The exhibition opens at Review Studios in Kansas City this Friday, March 12. The reception will be from 6 to 9 PM so drop by if you’re in town.

new work for upcoming exhibit

Barry Anderson — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 15:35:30 +0000

I’ve been busy trying to complete a new set of pieces for my upcoming show at Review Studios. There will be a number of new single-channel videos, multi-channel videos, audio sculptures, and maybe even a couple of new photographs. The final set of work is still in flux a bit.

The exhibition, titled SpaceRockSpasm, opens 6-9pm on March 12.

installation at Swarm Gallery

Installation is almost complete on Ectoplasmic Response at the Swarm Gallery in Oakland. I’ve been working since yesterday afternoon mounting and wiring the projector and all of the speakers. All that remains is to run all of the final power cables and close off the ceiling of the project room.

The public reception is Saturday evening from 6-8pm. Also showing in the gallery are Sonya Blesofsky, an installation artist from Brooklyn, and Casey Jex Smith, a painter from the Bay Area.

The University of Missouri-Kansas City (where I teach video and animation) is currently featuring my Intermissions project in Syracuse (which ended in December) on the main portal page of their website. An article about the project and my teaching can also be found through the UMKC Office of PR.

Better late than never I guess.

photo windows at SU

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.

UVP tests

One of the components of the Syracuse project is to project a number of my recent video animations onto buildings in downtown Syracuse under the Urban Video Project. Last night we tested out some of the projections (Op Eyes is seen here) and took photos for the catalog. Once the videos are ready they will be set to run dusk-to-dawn from mid-August to mid-October.

Light Work progress

We’re almost finished installing the speakers for the new installation at Light Work. I’m working on wiring all of the amps today and should have it all done by tomorrow.

Installation of Fragments, Spirits, Dust Bunnies, my new piece for Light Work, has begun in Syracuse. Right now I’m placing black circles on the walls to determine the placement of 6″ speakers to be mounted. We’re hoping to have all of the speakers mounted and wired by Monday.

This is the final Photoshop mockup for the three-channel video commissioned by the National Center for Drug Free Sport. The video animation is still in the works but will hopefully be done within the next couple of weeks.
