[2010/11 Artists in Residence]
New York-based exhibition artist Lisa Kirk will create a new work called “backyard adversaries” a four- channel large- scale projection with intricate sound engineering. With its disorienting imagery, complex soundscape, and hyper- real aesthetic, the work serves as a critique of recent political events, the media coverage surrounding them, and the subliminal impact of these images and events on youths. This exhibit will be displayed at Invisible- Exports. Kirk has a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California and was born in Newport, RI.
