Bunny Burson

Bunny Burson is a multimedia artist who works at the intersection of history, politics and science. Trained as a printmaker and influenced by conceptual art, she uses intaglio, woodblock, cast paper, artist’s books, video and sculpture.

Much of her work starts from family history. Letters her grandparents wrote between 1939 and 1941, as they tried to flee Nazi persecution, led to her 2012 exhibition and 2015 artist’s book Hidden in Plain Sight. After having her genome sequenced, she began working with chromosome imagery, in woodblock prints with 3D-printed elements and in The Common Code, a stainless-steel sculpture made with Leah Aegerter and shown at Anderson Ranch Arts Center. And Still I Rise (2017) used confetti left unused at Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election-night event.

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Burson received a B.A. in French from Tulane University in 1970, including a year at the Sorbonne, a B.F.A. from the Memphis College of Art in 1981 and an M.F.A. from Washington University in St. Louis in 2005. She was executive director of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities under President Clinton.

Her sixth solo exhibition at Bruno David Gallery, everything that was…still is, opened in 2022; earlier ones included Consequences (2007) and Rise (2018). Collections include the Library of Congress, Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Israel Museum. Awards include a 2010 residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, the Sam Fox School’s Award for Distinction (2013) and Anderson Ranch’s Service to the Arts Award (2018).
