Reed Anderson: FLAGWORKS Opening Exhibition
In person / Exhibition / Sewing
Gallery 1923 presents the exhibition FLAGWORKS, featuring artist Reed Anderson.
An amalgam of vibrant popular culture and minimalist aesthetic, Anderson explores the language of flags as both personal and cultural symbol; semaphores whose colours celebrate a collective unity and contradict the polemic nature of flag as emblem of “us and them”.
Sewn from new and recycled rip-stop nylon familiar to spinnaker sails, kites, burgees and sports banners, Anderson engages with the formalism of painting as a sewn object. Rather than displayed outside, the work is exhibited indoors and takes a more formal
role of shrine or celebratory alter, the colours engaging our senses and reflecting in the light.
Banners join this exhibition and diverge from the singularity of the flags, embodying a temporal quality akin to film or a musical score. In addition, the banners are not fixed and can be "played" in various hanging arrangements in space. They require the viewer to navigate around them to fully experience the work. The choreography of the viewer is as important as the artwork, creating a species of dance that maintains a connection to the temporal.
Anderson will also show a selection of studies made during the Summer while at his family retreat in Canada.
