Exhibition Opening
With Signs Following
Works by Kate Fowler and Mark Strandquist
With Signs Following is a documentary film and multi-media installation directed and produced by Richmond-based artists Kate Fowler and Mark Strandquist. Their work chronicles one of the last remaining serpent handling churches in West, Virginia and its gradual decline.
With Signs Following illustrates a deeply spiritual community, struggling to maintain an isolated
congregation in the technological era. Through video portraiture, sound design, and time-based elements, the artists capture a fading belief system, and the lives of its practitioners.
This installation will precede the premier of the completed documentary film, "With Signs Following." The screening will be included as a part of the James River Film Festival (http://jamesriverfilm.com/).
