 _Singing in Unison, Part 10_ presents a selection of paintings by Loren Munk and videos by James Kalm, the dual creations of one artist. Born in 1951, Munk spent three years in the army, before attending the Art Students League on the G.I. Bill, leading to his complete dedication to being an artist. Munk’s cartographic research began during his time working deliveries for the art supply store Utrecht, where he amassed a database of names and addresses of artists and their studios. His diagrammatic thinking in his paintings, which he refers as “conceptual topographies,” has deep roots in immersive studies of art history, art theory, and esoteric philosophies.

 While developing his own diagrammatic systems that integrate the process of mapping and making charts, Munk also began writing art reviews and dispatches for the Brooklyn Rail from 2000 to 2012. As his communal spirit flourished, the creation of his alias James Kalm as a filmmaker became the substitution for his writing. Munk then arrived at his pictorial maturity in 2006, with the coalescence of Munk’s hermetic commitment to the studio, and Kalm's exploration of bountiful participation and documentation of the arts community, into one pictorial synthesis. It was during this critical interval that the new transformation of the two disciplines were concretized in their simultaneity in time and space. For Munk the complexity of the writing permeates in the alchemy of painting, and Kalm’s footage of artist exhibitions and studio visits reveals his filmic production. Both are harmoniously deployed for the purposes of artistic restraint and self-prescribed magnanimity.
