Mitchell Anderson (b. 1985, Chicago, USA) lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland. He uses existing objects and imagery in a body of work that explores contemporary and historical contradictions, the humor and tragedies of ex-istence. In a broad multi-media practice Anderson presents contemplative objects of collective hope and failure and questions the narrative capabilities and codes of the visual and physical. His work has been exhibited among others at MAMCO, Geneva; McEvoy Foundation for the Arts, San Francisco; Kunsthalle Fribourg; Kunsthalle 8000, Wä-denswil; Bernheim, Zurich and Art Forum Baloise Park, Basel. Anderson is the curator of the current Zurich Bien-nale hosted by Kunsthalle Zurich and also runs the non profit space Plymouth Rock in Zurich. He obtained his BFA from Wake Forest University of Winston-Salem (2007) and his MFA from Institut Kunst Basel (2020).
