Speaking in Tongues" was an exhibtion and catalog that explored the art and relationship between my dad Wallace Berman and Robert Heinecken. The exhibtion itself was ten years ago. Curated by Claudia Bohn-Spector and Sam Mellon.
Speaking In Tongues: Wallace Berman and Robert Heinecken 1961 - 1976
'Speaking in Tongues...' brings, for the first time, two seminal yet under-studied Los Angeles artists into close conversation. The exhibition examines how Berman and Heinecken bridged modernist and emerging post-modernist trends by ushering in the use of photography as a key element of contemporary avant-garde art. Their works are explored within the unique cultural context of 1960s and 1970s Southern California, as it fueled and amplified their highly original creative approaches.
