Anthony Hawley is a New York City-based multidisciplinary artist whose hybrid practice spans video, installation, writing, sound, performance, drawing, and more. His work is driven by a fascination with the interplay between narrative, power, various technologies old and new, and the many roles language plays in our lives, be they oppressive, liberatory or otherwise. His short films and solo exhibitions have been presented by the Guggenheim Museum’s Works & Process series (2020); The Salina Art Center (2018); Vox Populi Gallery (2014); Dolphin Gallery (2012) The Bemis Center (2011) and others. In 2016, CounterCurrent, The Menil Collection, and Aurora Picture Show collaborated to produce his five-day multimedia performance event “Fault Diagnosis,” engaging audiences across the city of Houston with live performance, projections, a 1985 Nissan Pulsar NX turned micro-cinema, and audio narratives via a GPS-triggered app. He is a MacDowell fellow, and has also been awarded residencies at VCCA, the Hermitage Artist Retreat, Art Farm, Avaloch Farm Music Institute and others. Hawley is the author of two full-length collections of poetry The Concerto Form and Forget Reading (Shearsman Books, 2004, 2008), several chapbooks from Ugly Duckling Presse, Counterpath and others, as well as the artist book dear donald… (No Routine Books, 2021). His hybrid artist writings have appeared in Art Papers and Futurefeed and his essays and reviews appear regularly in Artforum, Art in America, BOMB, The Brooklyn Rail, Frieze, Hyperallergic, and others. With violinist/vocalist Rebecca Fischer, he forms the duo The Afield, which recently premiered projects at The Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center (2022), Carnegie Hall (2022) and Residency Unlimited (2020). He holds degrees from Columbia University and the School of Visual Arts.
