"RENTED WORLD," Installation at The MAve Hotel, New York, NY, December 1 - February 28, 2013 Transitional states, temporary structures and a shifting sense of time and space are the properties of a rented world. For Pundyk’s RENTED WORLD, three of her large, gestural paintings create a self-supporting triangular prism. An inverted sky blue triangle is hand painted directly on the back wall of the exposed glass hotel salon. On the floor, blue gravel forms a skewed triangle illuminated by raking light. Above the other elements a video montage loops on the ceiling. This flow of images replicates the free association of a changing state of mind, and, in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the changing state of our city and of our world.

ARTSlant, "Anne Sherwood Pundyk: Rented World," by Viola K. Timm, February 11, 2013 From the overdetermined choice of venue, the MAve hotel, to the invocation of Euclidean geometry in the shapes of the opaque surfaces comprising the elements of the composition, to the title’s allusion to the unfinished epic of American camp aesthetics, Jack Smith’s “Sinbad in the Rented World” of Disney and MTV, Anne Sherwood Pundyk’s installation Rented World searches for the visual language of an identity that has lost its origin and sense of immutability.

Artist's Book, "My Atlas: Lindsay/A Report to an Academy" I have just completed a visual video screenplay and painting atlas, based on the award-winning video of the same name. This full color book draws on Kafka's satiric story of captivity, "A Report to an Academy," transposing its themes in an examination of personal, familial, and societal constraints.

25/75: THE SILVER+DIAMOND JUBILEES/THEN+NOW ON VIEW AT THE QUEENS COLLEGE ART CENTER, FEB. 7 - MAR. 22, 2013 As it continues celebrating Queens College’s 75th anniversary, the QC Art Center will itself hit the quarter-century mark. Fittingly, the gallery will honor both milestones with the group show, 25/75: The Silver & Diamond Jubilees/Then + Now, opening on February 7. The exhibition assembles recent work by 25 artists, one from each season since the Art Center’s 1988 inauguration in the Benjamin S. Rosenthal Library. Reviewing the 476 participants who have been presented here over the years, curators Tara Mathison, Suzanna Simor and Alexandra de Luise focused on those they identified as the most accomplished, original, and revealing—and the most relevant to contemporary issues and the Art Center’s current concerns.

Hyperallergic, "Renew Your Faith in Painting," by Brendan S. Carroll "...Pundyk is not solely interested in smearing paint — soft, velvety, and creamy — across canvases. She painted a bright flat rectangle directly to the wall, which encloses her suite of gestural paintings in a field of orange and yellow paint. The effect is stunning. ..."

The Brooklyn Rail, "Material Tak," by Jonathan Goodman "...Finally, Pundyk offers “Parallax Painting”(2011), a wall installation that includes a number of individual works, each with its own title. One of the paintings, “Mike Running” (2012), is a vehemently expressive abstract work that includes, in the top half of the painting, random, overlaid splotches and spills—all in different colors, including red, black, green, and blue..."

Left Bank Art Blog by Charles Kessler Material Tak, Panepinto Galleries, 371 Warren Street, Jersey City (Until July 15th)
Almost everything that’s now happening with abstract painting is represented in this handsome exhibition, located in what used to be the Warehouse District of Jersey City...I was particularly interested in Anne Sherwood Pundyk’s installation. By creating a wallpaper-like background for her paintings, Pundyk transformed this large, Chelsea-style space into a congenial environment — a more private, almost residential, space that allows you to slowly savor this rich work.

artUS, Issue #32 "Express+Local: NYC Aesthetics," Queens College Art Center, New York, NY, May 5 - June 30, 2011
"...Pundyk alternates mainstream media source photographs and iterative images of unprecedented developmental phases that feed the final product with a solid memory blackout. The center of gravity and narrative wellspring was her five-foot-square painting Change my Mind/Marian Easter Tree (2011), which curator Tara Mathison strategically positioned at the top of the tower's interior."
