Historical Mashups and Figurative Naivety

ZackDenfeld — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 04:58:26 +0000

L.A. artist Alison Byrnes talks at CEMA this Thursday at 2 PM. Her work uses historical anachronisms and mashes up classical and contemporary images and ideas to create new meaning. Alison will present her body of work and take questions.

About Alison
Alison Byrnes, an artist currently living in Los Angeles, creates paintings that investigate the divide between the history we are taught and the history we imagine. Working within and expanding upon the canon of history painting, she portrays the problem of historiography itself.

History is an artificial construction that reflects actual events but can never fully convey its multiplicity and complexity. Starting off with the question, “Why can’t I make up history too, just as do writers and historians?” she began painting eminent historical figures in anachronistic settings as a comment on how the mind arbitrarily constructs images of history. Her work continues to call attention to the inherently authored qualities of historical accounts by using a painting style that proclaims its subjectivity.

She has degrees in Classics and Art, then most recently completed her Master of Fine Art degree at the University of Michigan in 2007. She focused on Museum Studies, and is now working as an Exhibition Designer at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. She has exhibited her work in Hollywood, Madison, New York, Suriname, Detroit, and Ann Arbor

Music will be provided by
Zack, Yashas,Lina Lapelyte LCC and other students.
