San Francisco-based sound artist Aaron Ximm (Quiet American) will
present an evening of soundscapes composed from field recordings,
also known as 'found sound,' in response to the work of Vincent
Fecteau, MATRIX Exhibition 199 artist, whose recent sculpture are
on display at the museum until October 6th.
Vincent Fecteau is a San Francisco-based artist known for his
small-scale, meticulously hand-assembled two- and three- dimensional
objects. His early works are subtle interventions into found images;
featuring collage elements, often pasted onto foamcore structures,
they take inspiration from popular culture, sappy commercial
photography, and architecture and design journals. One series used
thousands of magazine cutouts of cat faces pasted onto the wall and
stacked on the floor. Such collage works function more as drawings
than as sculptures. More recent works, however, focus on the
structures themselves.

'Aaron Ximm's compositions are aural collages that evoke
impressionistically, rather than literally, the sense of a place.'
