Johnny Coleman
Upon Reflection (1) and (2)
Johnny Coleman is an interdisciplinary artist and educator working in sound, sculpture, and installation, based in Oberlin, Ohio. Upon Reflection (1) and (2) (2018) is comprised of two new sound installations in MOCA’s Cahoon Lounge and Stair A. Both works are extensions of Coleman’s Glenville-based project, Reflections from Here (2018), currently presented outside the vacant St. Mark’s Church on Superior Avenue and East Boulevard. Emerging from Coleman’s deep research in Glenville over the past nine months, Coleman’s sound installations at MOCA are based on these conversations and his exploration of Glenville through the lens of its large, small, and abandoned churches.
