Micaela Gallery Exhibition Announcement

Greetings!

You are cordially invited to the opening reception of "Tall Tales," an exhibition of new multi-disciplinary works by San Francisco artists Peter Foucault and Scott Kiernan (aka the ZENITH FOUNDATION) on Friday, September 7th, 2007 at 5pm.

Foucault presents 13 process-based blown ink drawings that reference mapmaking, land grabs, and explore the expansion of imagined territories. These are then interpreted into a composition for sound and video by Kiernan, who takes a tuning fork to Death Valley to "tune to the lowest point in America", and uses this reference to compose the music. Both artists work separately and in tandem to find common ground in works that cross the boundaries of drawing, sculpture, sound, video, and highly formalized photo-documentation.

Peter Foucault and Scott Kiernan are recent MFA graduates from the San Francisco Art Institute. Peter Foucault's work is primarily process-oriented and incorporates chance, robotics, and kinetic systems to create drawings and video. Scott Kiernan is the founder and driving force of the ZENITH FOUNDATION, a loosely organized collective of none, which explores the strongly suggestive and associative powers of sound and formalized geometry to create interdisciplinary art works. Both artists have exhibited worldwide and live and work in San Francisco.

LOCATION: 333 Hayes St., San Francisco
