Catharine Clark Gallery

In the Media Room is a collaboration between artist Lynn Marie Kirby and student Bartek Rost, where the artist’s video is in dialogue with the student’s painting.

The exhibitions address the the Bridge in a wide context, including as a metaphor for the bridging of communities. By presenting a combination of art organizations, art mediums, and artists of all ages, Catharine Clark Galley celebrates the Golden Gate Bridge’s anniversary in conjunction with International Orange exhibitions across the Bay Area. The show acknowledges the diversity of local communities and the transformative power such organizations have in making San Francisco a unique cultural center.

Moving between narratives of geographic and domestic landscapes, Lynn Marie Kirby explores traces of a human presence. With a background in cinema and performance, she works with shifting recording technologies, creating film/video hybrids, drawings, and installation that become records of certain times and places. Her work has been widely exhibited in galleries and museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York; the Museum of Modern Art in New York; Olympic Museum in Sarajevo; the Pompidou Centre in Paris; Arsenal in Berlin; the Kennedy Center and the Corcoran Gallery in Washington DC; the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley; and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. the de Young Museum, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco.
