March Programming
GlitchKraft: Allison Tanenhaus and Friends
Curated by Dr. Leonie Bradbury
March 14st through April 30th, 2022
 “GlitchKraft is a celebratory display of digital errors, an ode to the interrupted image. Images that are usually limited to be viewed on a screen – mobile or otherwise – here are projected larger than life onto every surface of the gallery to create a technicolor ‘glitch-world’ that will surround visitors and allow them to be fully immersed in light and sound,” – Curator in Residence Leonie Bradbury, Emerson College.
 
For the GlitchKraft exhibit, Allison Tanenhaus collaborated with color-bending, mind-scrambling, new-media friends and local artist collaborators, including Alex Kittle, Ben Foley, Property Materials, Lauren Klotzman, and Lukas Therien. Together, they embrace electronic error, circumvent computational constraint, and technological overstimulation, culminating in an immersive, ephemeral ‘glitchscape’ made to overload the senses. Curated by Dr. Leonie Bradbury, Emerson’s Foster Chair of Art Theory and Practice and Curator in Residence, the exhibition showcases glitch art by Allison Tanenhaus and others with the art taking many forms, digitally projected onto the gallery walls, windows, and displayed on monitors.

About the Artist

Allison Tanenhaus is a Boston-based digital glitch artist specializing in abstract geometrics, vibrant color fields, optical perspectives, playful patterns, and unexpected dimensional qualities. Tanenhaus’ source material consists of original photographs, and previous glitch works that she digitally alters via smartphone. Created with equal parts deliberation and experimentation, the results are rainbow-hued, architectural, fantastical compositions that take on a psychedelic life of their own.

Tanenhaus is a graduate of Harvard University and Emerson’s Copy-Editing Professional Certificate Program and founder of street-art-inspired Slogans for Nothing. Her work appears locally and throughout the Northeast in various exhibitions and commissions; recently, in The Alternative Gallery in Allentown, PA, and Cover These Walls in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. In 2019, Tanenhaus was awarded a Fellowship in Visual Art from the Somerville Arts Council.
