MKG127 is very pleased to present Stop Me If You’ve Heard It,
an exhibition of new work by Dave Dyment.
The result of ridiculously obsessive research, the works in Dave Dyment’s exhibition Stop Me If You’ve Heard It continues the artist’s interest in how culture is forged, consumed and cannibalized. Seemingly disparate subject matter (Film Noir, the music of the Smiths, the disused Hearn Generating Station, etc.) comes together by way of shared procedural strategies. The exhaustive, algorithmic approach of generative cinema is applied to a variety of media; compiled, remixed and reshuffled to reveal underlying patterns and tangential narratives. Dave Dyment is a Toronto-based artist whose practice includes audio, video, photography, performance, writing and curating, and the production of artists’ books and editions. Past projects include Timeline (a 20,000 year history condensed to the length of a feature film), Addendum to the Tommy Westphall Universe, and Every Building in the Sunset Strip. This spring he will debut his remake of Night of the Living Dead at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, in Lethbridge. Review: |
