Darrin Martin explores the fractures inherent within visual and verbal communication and the slippage that occurs as life falls in and out of sync. Improbable Mends consists of a video installation along with several sculpture and print works that focus on the rupture or breakdown of materials, images and objects followed by their unlikely and transformative reconstitution.

Martin’s recent endeavors have focused primarily on these concerns in relevance to his own hearing loss and the technologies used to compensate, measure and augment his daily perceptions. Improbable Mends broadens this inquiry as the work moves between responding to wounds of a personal nature to abrasions on a larger social or economic sphere. Through a variety of materials and their alterations, the work asks how can injury become a meaningful opportunity and how does miscommunication become its own meeting ground.

In recent years, Martin has primarily exhibited screen-based video artworks that have shown extensively both nationally and abroad, most recently, at venues such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, European Media Arts Festival in Germany, and Impakt Festival in the Netherlands. This exhibition will mark a return to his studio-based art practice.

      This is confusing with his project that I dont understand what it will do with his hearing loss. It look more of science than art. I dont know if I can take my gut to check in.
