Show runs 11/15/06 through 12/14/06


Presented for the first time, a multimedia collaboration between photographer Peter Lippman, and composer/DJ Dan Finnerty (Spinnerty).   From Aperture to Audio introduces the pairing of Lippman’s photography with Spinnerty’s computer-based compositions. Spinnerty’s music combines voices, keyboards, sampling, and everyday industrial and natural sounds.  Each image/composition is presented as one; imagery infused with music and exhibited with listening stations.
 Lippman is a self-taught San Francisco Based professional photographer who has been published internationally and has shown across the US. Most recently published in German based Feierabend, his work ranges from simultaneously stoic and sensitive black and white images to dramatic color images. Lippman’s work, often dreamlike, draws the viewer into his world. “Lippman’s images have a sense of long lost memory; like someone longing for love and affection.  They are quite moving and poetic.”,said Thai photographer Ohm.
Spinnerty’s compositions provide a lush, textured and eclectic soundtrack that is reminiscent of Radiohead, Portishead, the films of Kurasawa and 2001, A Space Odyssey. Spinnerty is trained in the traditions of classical, jazz and improvisational music; his most recent work is included in the "Discoveries" compilation due out this November on urban and electronic label Om Records.
A DVD of the photography and music is available for purchase both at the gallery and online at: spinnerty's blog
