Andrea Sisson

Andrea Sisson[1] is an American interdisciplinary and conceptual artist. She is a 2010 U.S. Fulbright Program Fellow and is a current MFA candidate at the Milton Avery Graduate School for the Arts at Bard College.

Work

Her work spans performance and participation, imagery and video, text, installation, sound, digital, and object.

Sisson's experimental hybrid-documentary I Send You This Place,[2] (made in part by the U.S. Fulbright Foundation) was an official selection of the 2012 Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, the 2012 Reykjavík International Film Festival, and New York's Video Art & Experimental Film Festival. Following this, Sisson and collaborator Pete Ohs were named on the list of "25 New Faces of Indie Film" by Filmmaker in 2013.

Sisson directed the widely-enjoyed film for Nowness, a short film which breaks down the complicated choreography of the popular video for Sia's "Chandelier" into hilarious references that even a non-dancer could understand.[3] She is co-director, producer, and visual designer of the independent film Everything Beautiful is Far Away premiering at the 2017 Los Angeles Film Festival, starring Julia Garner, and taking home the U.S. Cinematography Award.

Sisson's solo and collaborative work has been shown at the São Paulo Museum of Image and Sound, Palais de Tokyo in Paris, Dallas Contemporary, and Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center.

Andrea Sisson was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, lives in Los Angeles, California, and is a current MFA candidate at the Milton Avery Graduate School for the Arts at Bard College.
