Time & Place: on the work of Lynn Marie Kirby explores the artist's work through a collection of newly commissioned writing and previously published essays by
Etel Adnan, Barbara McBane, Charlie Hewison, Glenn Phillips, Etienne Kallos, Lynne Sachs, Jordan Stein,
Jalal Toufic, Carolina Magis Weinberg, Tanya Zimbardo, and interviews with Kirby and Lissa Gibbs,
Alexandra Grant, Megan Kiskaddon, Rachel Ralph, and
Trinh T. Minh-ha. In lieu of standard photo documentation, the book includes Kirby's black & white scans.
Lynn Marie Kirby is a San Francisco-based artist interdisciplinary who makes films, videos, and site-responsive installations, often with text-based components, using emerging technologies and site interventions to excavate and reveal the traces and effects of the past on the present. Focused on questions of place, the residue of history, and social choreography, her conceptual practice engages time as a material, different sensory systems, improvisation and collaboration, accidents that make her jump, and forms of contemplation.
