Nan Hoover: Works in Multiple Media
Video, film, and live performance with the artist in person.
“Born in New York, Nan Hoover was a painter for some years before she settled in Amsterdam in 1969. Since the early ‘70s, when she moved into photography, video and performance, she has produced a consistent body of work in these media, highly personal and recognizable, in which she extends a painter’s concern with color and light into exquisite, slowly-changing tableaux, held on the edges of abstraction. Hoover’s work is essentially contemplative… Similarly, the images she creates result from a personal, subjective response to light and form, often suggestive of landscape and natural changes.” — Mick Hartney, Art Monthly.
