Peter Burr

Peter Burr is an artist from Brooklyn, NY. A master of computer animation with a gift for creating images and environments that hover between abstraction and figuration, Burr has recently devoted himself to exploring the concept of “an endlessly mutating labyrinth.” These pieces have been presented internationally by various institutions including Documenta 14, Athens; MoMA PS1, New York; and The Barbican Centre, London. Burr’s practice often engages with tools of the video game industry in the form of immersive cinematic artworks. Previously, Burr worked under the alias Hooliganship and founded the video label Cartune Xprez through which he produced hundreds of live multimedia exhibitions and touring programs, which showcased a multi-generational group of artists at the forefront of experimental animation. His practice has been recognized through grants and awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Creative Capital Grant, and a Sundance New Frontier Fellowship.
