19 May – 31 August 2009
Opening: 19 May 2009 7 – 10pm
My work is a gut response to the overloaded visual landscape littered by the flotsam of search engines and divergent histories…I want to suspend classification and disrupt associations long enough to convey the vacillant nature of an individual’s relationship to collective experience and vice versa.
Gavin Anderson 2009
Kidd Yellin is proud to present its first exhibition, part of a series of shows curated by Matthew Dipple of Museum 52.
Chaotic architecture, corrupted landscapes, anthropomorphic animals, broken shadows, suspect food, supernatural masks and dislocated monuments are all recurring motifs used by Gavin Anderson. He is not hoping to upend the world but instead strives to delineate total disorder as the status quo.
Anderson not only examines from multiple perspectives, but also works from a diverse set of objectives. His is a pluralistic approach where he almost adopts multiple personalities. The result is eclectic, decentering and disarming, leaving the viewer with an uncanny sensation of the familiar.
Project room: Gibby Haynes
Kidd Yellin is an exhibition space in Redhook, Brooklyn founded in 2009. The main exhibition space will present four shows per year accompanied by a rotating program in the project room. The aim of Kidd Yellin is to provide an alternative platform and location with the hope that this combination will provide multiple opportunities.
Kidd Yellin is also developing a residency program to accompany the exhibition space, which will begin later this year
