"A
glass case contains three different bags labeled “sticks,”
“stones,” and “broken bones,” reminding us that
the old adage does not ring true, because words CAN hurt us."
Dennis McMillan, SAN
FRANCISCO BAY TIMES, March 2006
"And
there are objects of sheer beauty, like Dan Pillers' life-size memento
mori boxes
whose glass lids are etched with poems of grief and hope."
Will
Shank, THE BAY AREA REPORTER , June 2001
"One
of the most poignant images in the show is a mixed media sculpture
by Dan Pillers of San Francisco, called 'Remember Them'. ... It all
adds up to a chilling piece that calls up associations with the
Holocaust as well as social stigma gays face today."
Victoria
Dalkey, THE SACRAMENTO BEE , April 2001
“[Pillers'
work] strikes a chord in the viewer of simultaneous grief and beauty
that transcends the politics of personal deconstruction. [His] work
has been called powerful, unnerving and confrontational. I would also
add sublime.”
Marke
Bieschke, BAYAREA CITYSEARCH.COM, February 2000
“Pillers
does a good job of dissecting the daily business of being gay in a
homophobic culture, and he lays it all out with unswerving visual flair.”
Sarah
Coleman, THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY GUARDIAN, January 2000
"Playing
with words, double meanings, and descriptive names of objects,
Pillers illustrates the power that words have, the ways that objects
and names can combine to perform ideas."
Samuel Topiary, SAN
FRANCISCO BAY TIMES, September 1995 |
