The Lyndon House Arts Center is pleased to announce the Summer Series featuring Entropy Plan for the Western Fam, by Steven L. Anderson, opening on Thursday, June 13 and on view through August 31, 2024.
Entropy Plan for the Western Fam is an exhibition of recent video, painting, and works on paper by Steven L. Anderson. The show’s title plays on artist Joseph Beuys’ 1974 tour of lectures and performances in the United States, “Energy Plan for the Western Man.” Beuys’ interactions with his audience were meant to serve as a continual energy source to solve the ecological and spiritual problems of the time. Yet half a century later, these crises still confront us—as we are confronted by Anderson’s large-scale artwork on paper that sprawls across the gallery’s floor, a crumpled cross-section of a hewn tree.
Anderson lives and works in Atlanta. He has received two Artist Project Grants from the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs and has been an Artist in Residence at Uncool Artist International Residency in Brooklyn, NY, Chateau d’Orquevaux in France, Joshua Tree National Park in CA, among others. His work is in a number of private collections, including Coca-Cola, Inc., Emory University Hospitals, and Microsoft. Anderson is the co-director at Day and Night Projects, an artist-run art gallery in Atlanta.
Entropy Plan for the Western Fam was successful submitted as part of the Lyndon House Arts Center’s exhibition proposal process.
The Lyndon House Arts Center is pleased to announce the Summer Series of exhibitions opening on Thursday, June 13 and on view through August 31, 2024. The artist reception is Thursday, June 13, from 6:00–8:00 p.m.
This summer, the Arts Center will feature three solo exhibitions, one collaborative installation and a thematic curated show. Solo efforts include Pathways: woven wall works by Kristy Bishop on view in the Atrium glass cases; in the South Gallery, Traditions Highway, photography by Irina Rozovsky; and Entropy Plan for the Western Fam, a multi-media exhibition by Steven L. Anderson on view in the West Gallery.
On view in the Atrium Gallery will be Cupola: a Collaboration. UGA professor Martijn van Wagtendonk, as a class assignment at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, initiated this collaborative installation. Inspired by Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi, the project integrates engineering, science, language, music, philosophy, and kinetic sculpture into a fantastical interactive structure.
Celestial Bodies, a group exhibition curated in-house by Exhibition Specialist Kathryn Réfi will be on view in the Upper Atrium galleries. The artists in Celestial Bodiesexplore the relationship between the heavens and the earth through different perspectives and media. Artists included are Jordan Campbell, Lauren Fancher, Casey McGuire & Mark Schoon, Judith McWillie, Michael Reese, Scott Silvey, Sergio Suarez, and Rusty Wallace.
All exhibitions at Lyndon House Arts Center are free of charge and open to the public. Exhibitions are on view during regular gallery hours Tuesday and Thursday 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
