Anthony Hawley
Anthony Hawley is a New York City-based multidisciplinary artist whose hybrid practice spans drawing, installation, writing, performance, video, audio, and more. He 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 short films and solo exhibitions have been presented by the Guggenheim Museum’s Works & Process series (2020); Spazju Kreattiv in Valletta, Malta (2016); Vox Populi Gallery (PA) (2014); and many more. 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. His critical writing appears regularly in Artforum, Art in America, Art Papers, The Brooklyn Rail, BOMB, Frieze, Hyperallergic, and MUBI Notebook. With violinist Rebecca Fischer, he makes up the duo The Afield, which recently premiered projects at The Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center (2022), Carnegie Hall (2022), and Residency Unlimited in Brooklyn (2020). He teaches in the MFA Studio Art Program at Hunter College.
