This exhibition featured works made from a residency I undertook with a comedy production company in Los Angeles called CleftClips, where I researched and made work on the role of memory and stage movement in addressing difficult topics within stand-up comedy. The exhibition looked at the ways that research, archive, and re-performance can work as a method of creation, and the role of the artist within that context.

My own notes, collected ephemera, correspondence for the project, and conducted interviews, formed the bases of many of the works – laying bare the narrative of the project itself, alongside the specific research outcomes.

Happy to put you in touch with any comedians. Let us know if you have any specific people in mind. Maybe a mix of people who prepare a lot and people who are more free form and don’t write down too much? Can try for some bigger names, too. Pretty sure we can pick you up from LAX on the 30th. Can you send your flight details so we can track it? Will be coming from a lunch meeting but not too far away, should be able to get to you by 2:30 or so if needed. See you soon!
