Martina }{ Johnston is honored to present an exhibition featuring the work of noted Bay Area artists Anne Walsh and Chris Kubick. Partners whose collaborative "Double Archive" projects have been exhibited widely, Anne and Chris will be sharing two distinct new bodies of work.
Anne Walsh will be presenting "An Annotated Hearing Trumpet, Preface and Figures," a collections of intriguing photographic and text works that represent a highly personal response to the wild, defiant, carnivalesque, feminist book "The Hearing Trumpet" (written 1950) by the British-Mexican Surrealist painter Leonora Carrington (1917 - 2011).
Chris Kubick’s recent work “deals with the meanings associated with ‘sound effects,’ those sounds that are seemingly not ‘sound’ enough to simply be called sounds.” Martina }{ Johnston will be presenting his video "Surprise!", the latest installment in an ongoing sound art series that makes use of his digital archive of film sound effects.
Please join us for an Opening Reception on Saturday, September 8th, 2012, from 4 - 8 p.m.
Martina }{ Johnston is an artist-run nonprofit "house gallery" that has been exhibiting contemporary art in NW Berkeley for three years.
