John Anderson Exhibit at MRV Arts
2024-02-27 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-02-28 13:00 - 17:00, 2024-02-29 13:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | Festival Gallery at Valley Arts, 5031 Main Street,, Waitsfield, 05673
What’s the big idea? As a freshman in college, my first grade on a paper was a D-
minus. When I spoke to the professor about my failure, he told me I knew the
material, the facts, but had no Big Idea. This was a huge lesson then and has
remained so ever since.
Concept, line and space drive the inquiry in my creative practice, both as an architect
and as an artist. In my work, both line and space are constructed to serve an imagined — even
irrational — beginning (The Big Idea). A conceptual narrative takes shape, a backstory
might develop, a fantasy or a metaphor might direct the path of the project. As I
proceed in my design process a kind of acceptance of a new reality starts to inform
me and a dialogue of choices and decisions take off.

What if an angel offered a choice between a lifetime of happiness or fame and fortune as a result of expressing art? That is the question that Margaret (Sarah Storjohann, Barre), a poet, writer, and English professor, must face in this World Premier play by Vermonter Mary Pratt. Pem (Susan Lonyd, Fayston), a fallen angel chosen by God (Cynthia Seckler, Fayston) and Satan (Gabrielle Tamasi, Barre) themselves to settle this wager, comes to earth to find an artist to pose this question to, with admittance to heaven and wings or hell and a flamethrower on the line for Pem. The show also features Sarah DeBouter (Berlin), Wes Olds (Graniteville), and Carrie Phillips (Waterbury). Bridget Edwards (Winooski) is the Stage Manager and the show is directed by Doug Bergstein (Waitsfield).
