@ Compound Yellow
244 Lake St, Oak Park, IL 60302
Opening Saturday, September 23rd, from 7PM - 9PM
Regina Martinez
Regina Martinez is a sound centered artist based in Chicago. Her current experiments draw from an archive of infinitely personal recordings she relates to as soundmarks: her father’s hands cleaning dried beans, drumline rehearsal after school, a creaky front gate to home, the flap of our clothes outside on the line. Each recorded moment becomes its own instrument, its own layer of composition, and a washing and wringing out of memory meant to be overheard like a poem again and again.
