LISA ANDERSON
TWO MAJOR SYDNEY EXHIBITIONS in AUGUST/ SEPTEMBER 09
ATTLA (snow that makes pictures as it falls) – Customs House – August 23 – September 27
PARIS ANGELS – David Rex-Livingston Art Dealer – August 8 to September 6
Artist Lisa Anderson has two major exhibitions in Sydney throughout August/September that
reflect on her experiences as artist in residence in the High Arctic and draw attention to
climate change and its effects on both natural and built environments.
ATTLA (snow that makes pictures as it falls) is a multi-layered exhibition at Customs House
in Sydney from August 23 – September 27. The work will extend her exploration of the hard
edges of climate change in the High Arctic and disappearing lifestyles and landscapes of
these isolated and extraordinary places. Lisa spent six weeks in the High Arctic in 2007 as
artist in residence on a Russian ice breaker.
ATTLA (snow that makes pictures as it falls)
will use images, video and sound works to highlight concerns and increase understanding
about what changing weather patterns can mean both to our own community, as well as
fragile environments such as the Arctic. The exhibition will include sculptural models of
icebergs with light and image projections, video installations and soundscapes,
photographic-based artworks, and a wi-fi video and sound installation of a polar bear on an
ice flo to be accessed by audiences via mobile phone or MP 3 player.
The exhibition Paris Angels at David Rex-Livingston Art Dealer (August 8 – September 6) is
a series of paintings based on Lisa’s photography taken during her recent residency at the
Cite Internationale des Arts in Paris. “I was fortunate enough to return to Paris for 3 months
to contemplate a range of issues around light and climate change effects on the built
environment. And most importantly it gave me another chance to fall in love with the city’s
stone angels all over again. The circumstances of the world and the environment have
inspired much of my art and this work explores the issue of our own mortality through the
detrition of the Angels of Paris,” Lisa says.
