FAB Gallery is pleased to host an exhibition by artist Jonathan Walsh. The exhibition will be on view April15, 2009-May15, 2009. Please join us for this exciting event!
Prelude is a video installation based on images of the artist’s family residence and daughter. The dreamlike qualities of this brief film, accompanied by the musical score preformed by the artist, evoke a common longing for an idealized past. “Its about life,” says the artist. Super-8 film, popularized through innumerable silent family films, is employed by Walsh to create a wistful and ambiguous narrative.
