About the Program
Strange Songs of Trust and Treachery by Vancouver-based artist Laura Lamb features several installations that reveal the curious fictional world that the artist refers to as "Lamb's Performing Objects." The artist describes Lamb’s Performing Objects as “an umbrella project including videos, installation, drawings and texts, in which all parts work together as a collage. Each fragment informs the others to evoke a fictive world of wandering performers, some human, some almost human, who through song, story, and circus ravel and unravel 20th century cultural mythologies." Russian lacquerware, rusty metal household objects, and clockwork mechanisms perform in Bits and Tatters, the first instalment of a video trilogy. Accompanying this video is a song that Lamb wrote and produced with composer and singer, Beverly Dobrinsky.Artist
