Colin Is My Real Name

June 21 @ 7:30 pm - June 22 @ 1:00 am

Event Navigation

The artist revisits Colin Campbell’s pioneering 1972 video True/False, which features Campbell alternately affirming and negating delicate statements about himself and his private life. Initially intended as a remake, the video instead summons Campbell’s voice to speak once more; a fragile, reversed palimpsest. Colin Is My Real Name was filmed at Mount Allison University, where True/False was originally produced. 6 minutes.

Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay is an artist and diarist. His work in video, sound, and text contemplates the history of song, the rendering of love and emotion into language, and the resurrection and manipulation of voices from history – sung, spoken or screamed. Nemerofsky Ramsay’s work has been exhibited internationally, appearing in numerous private collections as well as the National Gallery of Canada.
