JOHN GERRARD: ANIMATED SCENE
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 6:00PM
GARCIA HONDA AUDITORIUM, GEORGE PEARL HALL, UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO*
The University of New Mexico Art Museum, in partnership with the Thoma Foundation, presents John Gerrard: Animated Scene, at the University of New Mexico. In his lecture, Gerrard will present live simulations of several new works, including Solar Reserve (Tonopah, Nevada) 2014, an acclaimed artist-designed LED wall installation, supported by the Thoma Foundation and the Public Art Fund, at Lincoln Center, New York.
The artist is best known for his commitment to large-scale works that take the form of real-time computer simulations, created in painstaking detail over the course of many months or years. Gerrard often explores geographically isolated locations, as in his work for the 53rd Venice Biennale, which featured large-scale projections based on documentation of the agrarian American Great Plains. Gerrard’s work frequently refers to structures of power and networks of energy that have made possible the expansion of human endeavor in the past century.
John Gerrard (1974) received a BFA from Oxford University in 1997 and an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2000. He lives and works in Dublin, Ireland and Vienna, Austria. He is represented by Thomas Dane Gallery, London, and Simon Preston Gallery, New York. For further information visit johngerrard.net.
