San Francisco-based sound artist Aaron Ximm (Quiet American) will present an evening of soundscapes composed from field recordings in response to the work of Vincent Fecteau, MATRIX Exhibition 199 artist, whose recent sculpture are on display at the Berkeley Art Museum until October 6th.

Vincent Fecteau is a San Francisco-based artist known for his small-scale, meticulously hand-assembled two- and three- dimensional objects. His early works are subtle interventions into found images; featuring collage elements, often pasted onto foamcore structures, they take inspiration from popular culture, sappy commercial photography, and architecture and design journals. One series used thousands of magazine cutouts of cat faces pasted onto the wall and stacked on the floor. Such collage works function more as drawings
than as sculptures. More recent works, however, focus on the structures themselves.

'Aaron Ximm's compositions are aural collages that evoke impressionistically, rather than literally, the sense of a place.'
