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.

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.

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.”
