Episode 46: Noel W. Anderson on the Potential of Undoing

Dear Adam Silver

Noel W. Anderson is a visual artist and Area Head of Printmaking at New York University’s Steinhardt Department of Art and Art Professions. He has an MFA in Printmaking from Indiana University and an MFA in Sculpture from Yale University.

Our conversation focuses on Noel's practice and work, much of it in the context of the murder of George Floyd and the mass protests that have followed. Noel's work is heavy, both in physical material and concept. Heavy, and also weightless as his pieces and ideas embody and span a range of time periods, critical theories and visual temptations.

You can view Anderson's artwork and find his writings here and you can follow him on Instagram here.
