Abinadi Meza and Richard Rock

Abinadi Meza, Video still from Found Voice, Solo Museum, 2008

Abinadi Meza is presenting a site-specific video and sound installation made from everyday sound recordings of the museum, and a video shot while wandering through the museum at night. Paintings, sculptures and artifacts emerge and disappear into the darkness, presenting the museum as a repository of memory.

Richard Rock has been painting in the galleries of the Minneapolis Institute of Art since 2001. His small oil paintings are of installations of the Asian and European galleries. Rock paints "history from life" to connect with the minds of the many historical artisans whose works adorn the museum.
