Hannah Piper Burns: not either/or, but and and yes
Tonight at Grand Detour: Experiments in New Media (215 SE Morrison, Suite 2020), one of the founding members, Hannah Piper Burns presents a selection of her video work and a talk entitled “not either/or, but and and yes” (a title I am definitely going to steal for something).
Burns, who recently had work at galleryHOMELAND and No.Fest will discuss “the trajectory of her video art practice and how form and concept have evolved and moved through her work, which deals with… intimacy, liminality, subjectivity, technology, and narrative.”
More from Detour:
As someone who makes stories out of other people’s words and images as much as her own, Hannah Piper Burns is constantly evaluating her position as a semi-permeable membrane. At best, she’d like to think of herself as a kind of empathetic devil’s advocate who values earnestness over irony and integrity over impact. At the very least, she is a student of the human condition, by turns mirror, hammer, orchestrator, and creator. In the end, she makes rhythmic, multiform narratives connected more by their shared filter than their subjects. One thing she’s learned is that truth is as subjective as aesthetics.
Starts at 8 PM, sliding scale admission $3-6.
