Artist Open: Barry Anderson

August 20, 2009

Join artist Barry Anderson and Light Work director, Hannah Frieser for a lively discussion about Anderson’s video installation, Pigeon, on view in the Robineau gallery through August 30. Pigeon transforms an urban nuisance into a poetic protagonist. In the Piazza del Campo in Siena, Italy, the pigeon sits for his close up under an arch of water, occasionally taking a beakful; taunting and entertaining us at the same time. This installation is part of an innovative community-wide art exhibition of Anderson’s work organized by Light Work entitled, Intermissions. The project places video art and photographs at multiple venues across Syracuse. For more information about where to see Anderson’s work go to www.lightwork.org
