Welcome to QVMAG's FREE Art + Performance series - where musicians, dancers, and actors respond to and give new life into our exhibitions through performance.Join us for the next installment, where composer and multi-instrumentalist Karlin Love creates a sonic dialogue with the photographic stillness of Traces: Chris Bell.
Her classical guitar, both improvised and drawn from composed repertoire, is recorded and layered with roving clarinet melodies, forming a duet between the present and the recent past.
Karlin’s music resonates with the exhibition’s quiet celebration of “exquisite ordinariness”: rocks, reeds, leaves, and water reflections. These images, grounded in specific places yet evocative of many, become portals to deeper connection with the natural world.
Inspired by Chris Bell’s quote: "I want to present beauty as a worth in itself, and for that beauty to act as a conduit to a new affirmation with the natural world," you are invited to enjoy this necessary beauty, a meditative, restorative pause in your day:
▪️ Slow down and listen deeply to the interplay of sound and image
▪️ Reflect on the resonance of place, memory, and emotion
▪️ Drop in for a few minutes or linger for the full duration
▪️ Let the music draw you outside – beyond the gallery walls and into your own landscapes.
