For the opening reception of Pink Morongo, Sara Marlowe Hall invites her husband, musician and composer Matthew Zuk (known as Zuk Zuk), to perform a live improvised composition in response to her paintings. The performance continues their ongoing collaboration Lovers Talk, a project that investigates the intersections of solar fields, composition, scale, space, color, and texture. Zuk Zuk employs synthesized loops, a fretless baritone guitar, and a twelve-string in new standard tuning to create layered soundscapes and textured melodies that accompany Hall’s paintings, translating visual elements into sound and blurring the boundary between painting and performance.
