When asked to do an artist talk about the installation of Fog at Presentation House Gallery in 2004, I decided to replace the usual academic rhetoric with that of a rock show. I wrote a set of songs and put together a band to play them. Projected behind me were the lyrics that I sang, like opera surtitles. I recorded these songs and PHG published them as a CD.

I performed the songs with a different band at Mercer Union in 2005, for the Fog installation there, and at Art Metropole (inside Toronto’s MOCA) in 2019 for the launch of the Kevin Schmidt monograph for Black Dog Press.
