About Dr Lisa Anderson | Shinyshinyworld
Dr. Lisa Anderson has created and exhibited internationally for over 40 years, undertaking exploration and scientific residencies working with landscape/urbanscape/topographies through a prism of stories found in folklore and superstition as memories of place. Residencies include remote locations in the High Arctic and Antarctic, and locations such as Paris, London, Ireland and Iceland. Installations include the St Tropez Antipodes, Boston Lights, MardiGras 798 in Beijing and the Toronto, Hong Kong and Amsterdam Art Fairs by London Gallery Bicha, and also locally at Customs House in Sydney and Wollongong and Ballarat City Galleries. As the Rupert Bunny Fellow 2023 for Port Phillip, she created the exhibition 'Beguiling' at the Victorian Pride Centre with images using tales of gods and sprites that help explain nature. Dr Anderson is the 2024 Artist-in-Residence at Abbotsford Convent working with the queer ghosts of memory and the folklore that surrounds them. Anderson's work is in public and corporate collections internationally. The video, 'Searching for Ghosts' created here is currently a part of the Fringe for Venice Biennale 2024.
