Anders Bergstrom (b. 1971) was born in Tucson, AZ, and now lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. He is a printmaker and painter. His art dares the viewer to rethink their relationship with the tediousness of daily life. Bergstrom is talented in creating etchings that mimics brown paper bags, in the custom of trompe l’oeil. Using this printmaking tradition, Bergstrom creates art that looks like everyday objects and forces the viewer to rethink how they see those objects.
Bergstrom graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelors degree in Sociology and Studio Art. He also studied Urban Sociology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Bergstrom has worked with Brad Ewing at Marginal Editions, in Brooklyn, NY, and with Leslie Miller at The Grenfell Press in New York City. His work has been presented in exhibitions at Abrons Arts Center in New York; Columbia College, Chicago, IL; the Leonard Pearlstein Gallery, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA; The Print Center, Philadelphia, PA; Planthouse, New York City, and in many group exhibitions at the International Print Center NY, where he has also been a guest speaker and juror for their New Prints Program. In 2013 he co-curated the show, Printmaking and the Newspaper, at the International Print Center New York. His work is held in many collections, including Smith College Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, and Beinecke Library at Yale University.
Angela Conant
Angela Conant has been working in Brooklyn, NY for 15 years. Her 2014 solo exhibition called Angela Conant: Deuteranope at ICA Baltimore included painting, projection and sculpture, and was reviewed in Baltimore City Paper and Post Office Art Journal, in which Joseph Shaikewitz wrote: “Where Conant stands out and ultimately excels is in her conception of a transmedia practice that situates painting and sculpture in a refreshingly dynamic relationship; emblematic traits of painting inform the creation of the sculptures, and vice versa.”
Conant received a BFA in Painting from Boston University and an MFA in Art Practice from the School of Visual Arts in 2013. Currently, Conant is A Visiting Fine Arts Professor at Pratt Institute, and she publishes Opposite Day, an annual journal of essays and articles by artists, writers, and the creative community in reaction to the current US administration. Conant’s works has been nationally and internationally exhibited at places including, but not limited to, Electronic Arts Intermix (NYC), The Elizabeth Foundation Project Space (NYC), the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art (Wilmington, DE), Neter (Mexico City, MX), SARDINE (Brooklyn, NY), and Galerie René Blouin (curated by Kiki Smith and Geneviéve Cadieux) (Montreal, QC). Conant has spoken at Boston University’s School of Fine Art and at New York Foundation for the Arts and was awarded a Critical Writing residency at Recess (NYC) in 2013 and an Artist Residency at the Millay Colony (Austerlitz, NY) in 2014. In 2007, she co-founded The Gowanus Studio Space, an artist-run collaborative in Brooklyn where she served as Artistic Director until 2014.
