Kemper exhibit reviewed in KC Star

Barry Anderson — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 15:20:46 +0000

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.”

I just received news that my video Pigeon has been added to the permanent collection of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City. This particular video has been shown around the country and the world and is also part of the collection of the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, NY. It’s nice to now have a home for it in KC. Word is that it will be shown in the museum sometime within the next year.
