SUPERFRONT LA, a new offshoot of the Brooklyn-based experimental architecture gallery, is proud to present the work of experimental artist PERRY HALL.

Perry Hall, a multi-disciplinary artist experimenting with analog materials to produce groundbreaking results, shows work made of paint and sound. The project is exhibited as both physical paintings and filmic works that Hall refers to as “sound drawings”. Hall’s work has been shown in exhibitions at the Williams College Museum of Art, The Smithsonian's Cooper Hewitt (National Design Museum) in New York, and internationally.

Re-envisioning paint as a material that holds the capacity to self-organize, Hall has developed a set of techniques where paint is pressurized, vibrated with sound, or chemically enhanced in order to improvise with the inherent material intelligence of paint, itself. Questioning the traditional pictorial authority as painter, Hall's process presents paint as a body of emergent, unexpected forms that change over time. The results take the form of physical paintings and digital films, which are striking and confounding in their rich complexity.

Rivaling the digital experimentation of hyper-formalist contemporary architecture, his work has found resonance with architects internationally, with Hall lecturing both at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture Planning & Preservation (GSAPP) and the Southern California Institute of Architecture (Sci-Arc) where he has taught young architects the concepts behind his unique approach.

The exhibit will be paired with a panel featuring architecture and media theorists from the Los Angeles area on October 29th. Please reference losangeles.superfront.org for further information.
