The Renaissance Society will present four new bodies of work by Antwerp-based Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven, including numerous new works on paper; an interactive computer animation; and a related series of computer generated prints. Her artistic output includes a diverse array of mediums including painting, drawing, collage, interactive computer animation, video, computer generated prints, all of which are included in the exhibition. Van Kerkhoven synthesizes disparate visual and textual elements in her work. Her illustrational technique favors hard-edged flat planes in a neon RGB palette, with her most common imagery being drawn from pre-sexual revolution soft pornography. She appropriates text from a range of discourses, including philosophy, science, poetry, theology. Her work addresses metaphysical reflections on mind, body, universe, and perception. This is Van Kerckhoven’s first solo United States museum exhibition.
