Eric bookhardt has added his viewpoint to the reviews of “Hot Up Here” at the CAC. Read the review here.

Doug MacCash has written a review of the all city faculty show at universal. Read what he has to say here.

Eirk Wenzel has written a review for ArtSlant of the “Hot Up Here” show that Dan Cameron curated for the CAC in New Orleans. He included a few words about my animations:

David Sullivan’s looping HD animations, Sunset Refinery, 2008, and Swamp Gas, 2009, are pretty in a garish way, they face each other in a darkened gallery, hissing, whirring and churning away a perfect mixture of beauty and decay. The color schemes combining black blobs with blues and wispy neon greens and yellows vibrate and glow. The two animations trade on the notion of how the sensation of something ominous and gloomy can be a deeply satisfying aesthetic experience.

i’ve posted excerpts of my 3 recent animations on vimeo and on swampmonster on each of their respective pages.
