About Us
Artists Chris Kubick and Anne Walsh work together collaboratively under the name ARCHIVE. They currently live and work in Oakland, California.
ARCHIVE works with a variety of formats and tools including performance lectures, spoken-word CD’s, video games, exhibitions, and works on paper. From 2001-2004 ARCHIVE produced the project Art After Death, a wry hybrid of metaphysical storytelling, art history, biography, autobiography. Originally debuting at the Whitney Museum of American Art’s 2002 Biennial exhibition, the Art After Death audio CD’s “Conversations with the Countess of Castiglione”, “Yves Klein Speaks!” and “Visits with Joseph Cornell” have been heard on public radio in the U.S., Germany, Denmark, Australia, England and Canada; ARCHIVE has given performance lectures at museums and other institutions throughout the U.S. and Europe.
ARCHIVE’s latest project explores the poetic and sonic possibilities of a large commercial sound effects library through multi-speaker, generative audio installations.
In 2005 ARCHIVE’s sound library works were seen at San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Bay Area Now 3 exhibition, in ‘Blur of the Otherworldly: Art, Technology, and the Paranormal” at Baltimore’s Center for Art and Visual Culture. and at the Royal Academy of Art in London.
