CHAMBER: Blinn & Lambert
Couplets
November - December 2025
Collaboration is central to the work of Blinn and Lambert (Nicholas Steindorf and Kyle Williams). The two were drawn together by their shared backgrounds in painting, which led them to their work in moving-image, installation, and projected light. Their collaboration is shaped by a sensibility for deadpan humor and pacing, and by a process that centers on experimentation, invention, and material exploration. Their work explores questions rooted in their history with painting: How does an image hold time? What is the tension between material and presence? In recent projects, translucent screens interact with windows and doors, bringing together their abstract analog projections and the shifting light that animates interior space. Works like Couplet, Day Off and The Conformists foreground concerns central to their practice: rhythm, duration, and an openness to chance.
