Anne Angyal is an emerging new-media
artist. She graduated from the University of Denver
with a B.A. in Studio art in 2002, and has exhibited
her work in galleries in Boulder and Denver, including
Core and Fresh Art galleries. In her current work,
she looks at television and how it speaks a language
familiar to the viewer. Taking cues from that language,
she paints images that are scanned and animated into
digital films. As a program assistant at the Denver
Art Museum, Ms. Angyal has been developing the interpretive
program for the Modern and Contemporary Art installation
in the new Hamilton building.
During her residency at PlatteForum,
Ms. Angyal will create a body of work that investigates
violence and humor, specifically in television programs.
With the youth, she will watch TV and discuss the
images they see, explore how they relate to the characters,
and discover what emotions they feel while watching.
They will then take a specific scene and recreate
it using media they see fit – small dioramas,
stop-animation, etc. At the end of the residency there
will be an exhibit showcasing her own video installation
along with the work of the students.
