OK. Sorry. I've already written a shit ton in the last hour. But I need to get one more artist in for today. And it's Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay. I met him. I melted. I saw his work "Day Breaks Instead of Night Falling" and my proverbial prairie cherries dropped. I don't know what makes them proverbial but it sounds cool.
I promise I will write more. But Benny is a performance artist/visual artist/awesomesauce artist who does amazing work with video, sound, writing and performance on a range of issues that could be viewed as 'queer' or could not, and that's ok.
For the purpose of this- I'm going to focus on a couple of his works, but mainly his early and continual fascination with sound and the sound of his own voice- and the the the the sound of queer effeminate male voice.
My starting point is his book:
Sounding Selves
Here is a video of some of his stuff:
Rosa Song
It's a recreation, and it gorgeous.
Ta,
Johnny.
