Etel Adnan and Lynn Marie Kirby
-
Visual artist, poet, and essayist Etel Adnan writes what must be communicated through language, and paints what cannot. While her earliest paintings favored pure abstraction, she is perhaps best known for her landscape works inspired by her long obsession with Mount Tamalpais. Her work has been published and displayed around the world. Moving between narratives of geographic and domestic landscapes, Lynn Marie Kirby explores traces of a human presence through the residue of light, history, and listening. With a background in cinema and conceptual performance, she works with shifting recording technologies, creating film/video hybrids, drawings, and installations that become records of certain times and places. Using methods such as site interruption, writing, and collaboration, her projects manifest at the intersection of events and archives, looking at the links between public and private, biographical and system ecologies.
