A sequel to last year’s Road to Santiago, A Flash and a Clap features the latest collaboration of artists Jonathan Ching and Anna Varona. “I have always known Anna for her experimentation with materials,” says Ching. A Flash and a Clap is a play on lightning and thunder. “The idea came up when I called up Anna and asked her what she is currently up to. She said she has been making sculptural pieces of human heads. Then, I thought I wanted to try to paint sound, as it is ephemeral, until it looped over and over inside one’s head, hence, the idea for the two-person show.”
