Lynn Marie Kirby (San Francisco) inventively draws upon vernacular imagery from domestic life and the American landscape, transforming the material in the process. She also explores the unique properties of the mechanical and the digital. Her work bridges the cinema and conceptual-art worlds by putting tools to unanticipated uses, whether editing by remote control, reframing production gear as subject, or turning the editing console into an instrument for live performance. Kirby’s multimedia practice establishes the "frame" as a delimited space of improvisation and openness-for artist and viewer alike-in works of astonishing beauty and vibrancy. The program includes C to C: Several Centuries After the Double Slit Experiment (1995); Study in Choreography for Camera Remote (2001); and pieces from the Latent Light Excavation series (2004–05).
