Anton van Dalen: Community of Many chronicles the historic artist
Anton van Dalen's lifelong visual investigation informed by the
influences of war, religion and migration, his devotion to nature,
and his dedication to documenting the technological and cultural
evolutions within our society across a variety of mediums, from
drawing and sculpture to collage and painting. Born in the
Netherlands in 1938 to a conservative Calvinist family, Anton
witnessed first-hand the terrors of both technological and human
destruction during the Second World War. Since he immigrated to New
York in 1966 and settled in the East Village, Anton has served as
witness, storyteller and documentarian of the dramatic cultural
shifts in the neighbourhood through his masterfully honed and
singular iconography. Featuring critical essays by John Yau and
Tiernan Morgan, this heavily illustrated publication is the first
comprehensive monograph on Anton van Dalen's work that provides a
language by which to discuss the consequences of human brutality
towards nature and our entanglement with technology. Anton has been
included in group exhibitions at notable institutions including the
Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; New Museum, New York;
Contemporary Art Center, Cincinnati; and the New-York Historical
Society. He has also been the subject of solo exhibitions at Temple
Contemporary, Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple
University, Philadelphia; University Museum of Contemporary Art,
University of Massachusetts, Amherst; and Exit Art, New York. His
Avenue A Cut-Out Theatre has toured since 1995 both nationally and
internationally and has been shown at numerous institutions
including The Drawing Center, the Museum of Modern Art, and The
New-York Historical Society.
