New Missouri Bank Crossroads Art Through Architecture “ARTBOARDS” Debut
Billboard-scale commissioned images by artists JON SCOTT ANDERSON and DERRICK BREIDENTHAL on view through March as latest installment of Missouri Bank’s Art through Architecture Project.
The Missouri Bank Crossroads Branch, 125 Southwest Boulevard, KCMO, will debut four new large-scale commissioned images by Kansas City artists Jon Scott Anderson and Derrick Breidenthal on its “Artboards” in time for First Friday, January 2012. Installed on the exterior, double-sided billboards rising above the bank, the “Artboards” are visible to the public all hours of the day, and will remain on view for approximately three months.
Project Synopsis:
Interested in how technology shapes perception and experience, painter Derrick Breidenthal presents a pair of images that contrast a naturalistic painted landscape with a pixilated, digital representation of the same. In juxtaposing the two depictions, he seeks to provoke consideration of how our digital environment is fundamentally transforming the way we see and experience space and place.
"I am interested in the generational experience of space and land and how the digital environment is changing this. We are quickly reaching a time (some would say we have already arrived) in which the virtual world holds a deeper connection for many than a simple walk in the woods. These works explore this merger or division."
The fact that the large-scale images will be viewed from various distances introduces an additional layer to this dynamic, whereby the images will slip back and forth between abstraction and representation at different rates, depending on proximity.
