Anderson is in DC supporting her close friend, Darren Waterston—an artist she met 20 years ago while filming The X-Files in Vancouver. Waterston’s show, Filthy Lucre, opens at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery on May 16. His stunning installation takes the iconic Peacock Room—on view next door at the Freer Gallery of Art—and
turns it into a ruin of blue-and-gold. Broken pottery, shards of wood,
and pools of paint symbolize destruction and excess, as well as the
complicated relationship between money and art.
On May 15, Anderson is co-hosting an exhibition gala benefitting the museum. Tickets cost $1,000. Don’t have that kind of cash? Don’t fret. Washingtonian sat down with Anderson and Waterston to talk art, friendship, and Filthy Lucre.
