303 Gallery is pleased to present “Black Sabbath” an installation by Kristin Oppenheim.
Kristin Oppenheim uses her voice as a reductive sculptural element staging an encounter that is both dark and playful. The music and vocals are reconfigured into Oppenheim’s haunting and energized version of the self-titled song. In it, her tone is rhythmically charged with instrumental and additional sounds that merge with the elements of the work to create an ephemeral whirl of desire.
In the rear gallery, Oppenheim shows a series of silver drawings titled “Sleepwalker” a new photograph titled “Headstand” and in the corridor photographs titled “The Eyes”, “The Treasure” and “The Leap”.
Kristin Oppenheim’s work has been included in the exhibitions “Brooklyn!” Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art, Lake Worth, FL, “Searchlight: Consciousness at the Millennium at the CCAC in San Francisco, “Presumed Innocent” at the capc Musée d’art Contemporain de Bordeaux, and “The American Century: Art & Culture 1900-2000” at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Oppenheim will premiere a new 5 channel video installation at The San Francisco Museum of Art in 2002.
