Andrea Gaydos Landau

Biography

From www.andrealandau.com/
"I am interested in presenting work that confronts the viewer with an experience that is both spatial and visceral. Structure, both architectonic and organic, decorative and chaotic, find themselves within my constructions, along with processes that are suggestive of addition, division and subtraction. Building or compiling with pattern I wish to reveal information of a new order, or perhaps expose the subtle possibility of an alternative cosmology."

Andrea Gaydos Landau earned an MFA in Fiber from Cranbrook Academy of Art and BFA in Fiber and Material Studies from The Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland, OH. Landau has shown at The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, Philadelphia; Cranbrook Art Museum, Bloomfield Hills, MI; Coral Street Arts House, Philadelphia; Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, Peekskill, New York; and Warren Robbins Gallery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, among others.

For the Big Bang catalogue,the artist writes, "By compiling silent information, dust and residues, this accrual of bits reveals a new order, an entirely new object or material, and exposes the subtle distinction between beauty and the base."
