Title
Dangling by Their Mouths: The Collected Works of Colin Campbell
Description
At last the maestro of Canadian bad wigs and video art is available in a deluxe ten-DVD box set, featuring thirty full-length tapes. Meticulously restored and remastered, this set offers up originary moments, his classic six pack of Woman From Malibu tapes, and his mid-career dramatics, along with a closing quartet of works which saw him reprise many of his early creaturely creations. All of his star turns take a bow in this set, including Mildred the ray-banned widow, worldly Anna, the innocent-turned-electro-pop-star Robin, the gossip maven Colleeta-Sackville West, and the androgynous performance artist Colleena. Filled with a wry humour and a stylish, cross-dressing flair, he turned to luminary artist friends and starlets like Tanya Mars, Johanna Householder, John Greyson, Lisa Steele and George Hawken to add heat to his video love songs. His deadpan wit and keen eye for framing has kept these in-camera sessions fresh well beyond the Bienales and retrospectives which has had heads turning for the past four decades.
