Beneath a stereoscopic moon - solo exhibition
SpaceCampMicroGallery
NUVO Indianapolis - events


Opening night Friday 5 April 2013. 7 - 11pm
SpaceCamp MicroGallery
Suite 212
Murphy Arts Building
1043 Virginia Avenue
Indianapolis, IN 46203

Curated by Flounder Lee



As a starting point for her recent work, Andrea’s title has come from a consideration of the moon as a signifier of mystery, secrecy and the unknown. She has paired these associations with the stereoscope’s long history as an object used to alter visual perception, where images were combined to give the illusion of depth before the advent of more recent 3D technology.

In ‘Beneath a Stereoscopic Moon’ Zanne Andrea explores illusion, artifice, and the manipulation of reality and perception primarily where recent history, memory and power collide. From this has arisen an exploration of illusionary space and inhabited space, and the relationship between object and image. Andrea is interested in playing with these relationships through the form of precarious sculptural assemblages or installations, revealing potential connections, allowing differing perspectives and questioning how we ascribe meaning onto objects and images.

Andrea has been invited to speak to a class of Herron School of Art and Design students about the exhibition and her wider practice before the opening night.










Two Minutes to Midnight - solo exhibition at HERE Gallery in Bristol, October 11 - 26th, 2012.

In Two Minutes to Midnight Zanne Andrea addresses the notion of a nearing Doomsday, an apocalyptic countdown to unimaginable catastrophic events. A starting point for this exhibition is The Doomsday Clock, used by the Board of Directors of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists since 1947 to measure how close the human race is to destroying the world. This idea of a figurative midnight mirrors much of the anxiety felt during the atomic age and the Cold War, but is also relevant to the more recent anxiety of living in a post 9/11 world with terrorism threats, economies on the brink of collapse, uprisings, protests, world disasters and nuclear meltdowns.

Two Minutes to Midnight coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis, a nearly catastrophic nuclear standoff that lasted 13 days between the Soviet Union and The USA, which occurred in October 1962. This exhibition also happens in the months preceding what is known as the end of a long count Mayan calendar, 21 December 2012, and to some has become yet another predictive date for destruction of the human race.

Zanne Andrea is an American artist currently based in Bristol, England. In 2011 she received a BA (hons) Fine Art from The University of the West of England and has received a variety of awards, including a prize in the Motorcade/Flashparade National Open Competition 2011. This is her first solo exhibition.
