Barry Anderson is a Kansas City-based artist working in video, photography and installation. His work has appeared in more than 30 solo and 80 group exhibitions in the United States and abroad, and is held in collections including the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art and the Everson Museum of Art.
In 2009 Light Work in Syracuse, New York, presented Intermissions, a city-wide retrospective of his video work accompanied by a monograph. His long-term project The Janus Restraint is a multi-part narrative that weaves boyhood rites of passage together with geological evolution and mythic symbology.
His Fragment series, shown in Polychrome Rift, his fourth solo exhibition with Bruno David Gallery, pairs AI-generated images with environments built in 3D software. The works explore architecture, the perception of space and a lingering sense of claustrophobia.
Anderson lives and works in Kansas City, Missouri. He holds an M.F.A. from Indiana University Bloomington and a B.F.A. from the University of Texas at Austin, and is a professor of Media, Art and Design at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He is a recipient of an ArtsKC Inspiration Grant and is represented by Bruno David Gallery.
