Andrea Burgay is a visual artist from Syracuse, NY, currently living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Burgay’s work combines collage, sculpture and found materials to elevate the overlooked and the mundane via transformative physical processes.Through a process of adding and removing layers of handmade and collected materials her work presents a physical manifestation of the passage of time, destruction and decay.
She has exhibited nationally and internationally including; Unimedia Modern Contemporary Art (Genoa, Italy), Galerie Zurcher (Paris, France), BRIC Gallery, Flux Factory, Groundfloor Gallery, Outlet, Materials for the Arts, and STOREFRONT Bushwick (all in NY). She is a recipient of a number of awards and residencies including A.I.R., Brooklyn, The Wassaic Project Fellowship Award, Wassaic, NY and The Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, Nebraska City, NE. She recently completed a residency at the Eileen S Kaminsky Family Foundation in Jersey City, NJ, and published Cut Me Up, a participatory collage magazine and curatorial project.
