Art Speak - David Kimball Anderson

The image above is of a piece in David Kimball Anderson's exhibition currently on display in the Salt Lake Art Center Street Level Gallery entitled Spring Flowers (Strawberry Flowers) 1, created in 2007. He's written some words about his experience here:

The Salt Lake Art Center is one of the best kept secrets of the west. It is a fine museum with a smart and warm staff.

My work currently on exhibit is highly decorative and could have easily been dismissed as only such. However, the substance of the body of work is the result of research and and care taken to respect the life work of Morris Graves. The curatorial and support staff recognized the greater scope of my endeavor which is evident in the wall texts, installation and lighting.

The costs to mount an exhibition can be difficult or prohibitive for an artist. The Salt Lake Art Center gave me financial support without hesitation. With this assistance I felt the work was genuinely appreciated.

Yours,

David Kimball Anderson (And the Jazz played a great game against Cleveland!)

Don't forget - Art Center staff will be wrapping gifts at the Gateway Barnes & Noble today from 11 am to 3 pm. Come and visit!
