Fuzzy Logic - new work and billboard by Sarrita Hunn July 20, 2012

Fuzzy Logic
Sarrita Hunn
July 20 - August 18
Opening Reception Friday, July 20 6-10pm
Sarrita Hunn is an interdisciplinary artist based in St. Louis, MO and Berlin, Germany who explores how information is mediated through cognitive and technological process. Titled Fuzzy Logic, after a form of logic that deals with reasoning that is approximate, rather than fixed or exact, the exhibition will feature a new installation of paintings that explore the medium and technological developments in image production.
In addition, Sarrita has invited three artists (Jesper Carlsen, Jake Peterson and Gareth Spor) to create augmented reality (AR) projects in relation to her concurrent billboard, Arches. While virtual reality creates a virtual space separate from reality, augmented reality takes a view of the physical world (most commonly seen through the camera of a smartphone) and adds interactive elements. These projects will be placed at sites near the gallery along Gravois using geolocation-based AR and seen via the mobile phone app Layar. She will also present a publication produced in collaboration with Nightmare City (Carol Anne McChrystal and Keturah Cummings) with essays by the artist and James McAnally.
Sarrita Hunn has exhibited internationally including Studio 2o46 (Berlin); Art&Design Barcelona (Spain); Fermynwoods Contemporary Art (United Kingdom); SHO Gallery (Brooklyn, NY); Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Braunstein/Quay Gallery, Southern Exposure and Richmond Art Center (San Francisco Bay Area); Laumeier Sculpture Park (St. Louis, MO) and with alternative spaces in Japan, Mexico and Australia. She received her BA in Studio Art, Art History, and Philosophy from Drury University in 2001, MFA in Fine Arts from California College of the Arts in 2004 and attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2006). Hunn also co-founded Temporary Art Review, an online art criticism site that focuses on alternative spaces and critical exchange among disparate art communities in the United States. Her awards include a Danish Arts Council International Visual Artist Grant for a recent solo exhibition at Koh-i-noor in Copenhagen, Denmark. www.sarritahunn.com
