Tom Burr: No Access

SCAD Museum of Art presents "No Access," a large-scale outdoor installation by artist Tom Burr. The artist draws contextual links to urban aesthetics and subcultures, minimalist art and avant-garde film.

For "No Access," Burr assembled 18 highly polished, darkened mirrors — inspired by Claude glasses — used by the 17th- and 18th-century-landscape painters to select views in nature. With this public work, Burr comments on the dark, glossy surfaces that mediate our social interactions and vision in the touch-screen era while creating a unique spatial experience that leads visitors through a landscape of puzzling reflections.
