SUMMARY:Quiet Lightning: Call and Response: Kim Anno + Pamela Z
DESCRIPTION:Call and Response: a specialist in any field gives a presentation—of any kind—in their area of expertise\, followed by an informal Q&A and an improv response by some of the Bay Area’s finest creative musicians. \nThis show features painter\, photographer\, and film/video artist Kim Anno and her adaptation-in-progress of Dante’s Purgatorio\, which she is secularizing. “Dante was moving in that direction but kept to the Christianity for many reasons\,” Anno says. “My aim is to remove that entirely and see what there is left.” \nResponding to Anno’s presentation is composer/performer and media artist Pamela Z! Two awe-inspiring creatives who actively bridge the worlds of art and science/tech\, and two excellent chances that you will find yourself saying I haven’t seen anything like that before. One night only. \nKim Anno is a painter\, photographer\, and film/video artist whose work has been collected and exhibited by museums nationally and internationally. Born in Los Angeles\, Anno has had exhibitions and screenings at the 14th Annual New Media Festival\, Seoul\, Korea\, Kala Art Institute\,Berkeley\, Goethe Institute in Johannesburg\, the Durban Municipal Gallery\, South Africa in the “Don’t Panic Exhibition”\, Flux Projects\, Atlanta\, Marcia Wood Gallery in Atlanta\, 6 channel video installation\, Windows Project\, Atlanta\, Sky Dive Gallery\, Houston\, San Francisco Asian Art Museum\, Patricia Sweetow Gallery in San Francisco\, Seeline Gallery in Los Angeles\, Patricia Correia Gallery\, Santa Monica\, Sue Scott Gallery\, NY\, Site Santa Fe Biennale: One Night Stand in New Mexico\, the King’s Art Center\, California Retrospective\, the Varnosi Museum in Hungary\, DC Dusseldorf International Expo (Germany)\, Pulse\, Miami\, and the Berkeley Art Museum\, the Denison University Museum\, and Noel Art Museum.

A pioneer of live digital looping techniques\, she creates solo works combining experimental extended vocal techniques\, operatic bel canto\, found objects\, text\, digital processing\, and wireless MIDI controllers that allow her to manipulate sound with physical gestures.

Her large-scale multi-media works have been presented at venues including Theater Artaud and ODC in San Francisco\, and The Kitchen in New York\, and her media works have been presented in exhibitions at the Whitney Museum (NY) \, the Diözesanmuseum (Cologne)\, and the Krannert Art Museum (IL).
