Kirby, Jacaranda Tree Chalon Road Exposure: Brazilian Export
LYNN MARIE KIRBY
Views from the center before and after Edison
a film-based gallery installation
at Eyedrum February 3 - 24, 2007
opening reception Saturday, February 3, 6:00 - 8:00 PM
film screening hosted by the artist, February 3, 8:00 PM
Views from the center before and after Edison
is part of Kirby's Latent Light Excavations series, in which film is exposed to
the light of a particular landscape without the use of a camera. Using this
film, Kirby makes a new digital video work which "articulates the machine realm
between the realms of film and digital."
"For
Eyedrum, 16mm film was exposed without a camera to the light of I-75 in Atlanta,
the North-South Interstate, the path of the old Dixie Highway. Visible in the
gallery are both a film loop of the original 16mm Atlanta exposure and that
original document transformed through a performance on a film-to-digital
transfer machine. Also present in the gallery is a sound recording of my arrival
in Atlanta. This magnetic tape recording is seen as a physical material in
space rather than heard as it unfolds in time." --Lynn Marie Kirby
After the opening reception, Kirby will host a screening of selections from the
Latent Light Excavations series and other recent works, as well as her earlier
portrait-documentary film Three Domestic Interiors.
A past Guggenheim
Fellow, Kirby is a professor at California College of the Arts. Her work has
been shown at at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art and the
Whitney Museum in New York, L.A.C.E. in Los Angeles, SFMOMA, the Pacific Film
Archive, the San Francisco Cinematheque, and venues in Berlin, Istanbul, London,
and Sarajevo.
