Wallpapering my fridge with images of pigs was my first quarantine home craft and dieting strategy (it doesn’t work). Since childhood, I’ve always lamented that fruit stickers are not collectible. In quarantine, I invented (to the best of my knowledge) the “fruit sticker mat”. Rather than discarding a fruit sticker, wouldn’t you prefer to slap it on the round ass of a cute pig? #getrichordietryin #getrichquick #fruitstickers #pig #piggy #pigsofinstagram #piglove

This will be a make-shift presentation from my living room. I'll start video testing tomorrow afternoon. 🙂 Feel Free to check in for that too.
Here is a synopsis written long ago by curator Mark Webber
Title: Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry
Format: (Overhead Animation/ Performance)

Directed, written, animated and performed by: Daniel Barrow

Based in: Montreal

Running time: 45 minutes

Music by: AV Linton

SYNOPSIS: Daniel Barrow has developed an intimate mode of 'manual animation' using the antiquated technology of an overhead projector. From a position amongst the audience, he recites live narration while manipulating layers of transparencies in continuous motion. Accentuated by interference patterns and sleight-of-hand trickery, Barrow's hand-drawn images contrive an absorbing tale of comic book grotesques. Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry is a bizarre confessional detailing the grand but hopeless scheme of an estranged garbage collector and failed art student. Unloved and rejected by society, the protagonist begins a universal art project in the form of a telephone directory of 'profound and intimate insights' to chronicle the lives of those around him. As he snoops through the windows and waste bins of fellow citizens, his survey is rendered futile by a maniacal killer who follows in his wake, picking off subjects one by one – rendering his cataloguing efforts obsolete and transforming his community directory into a book of the dead. Invoking introspection, pathos and dark humour, this award-winning performance piece is accompanied by an unassuming Beach Boys-inflected score recorded by AV Linton of The Aislers Set.

@galerie3 reopens their physical space this week with an exhibition celebrating their 5th anniversary. Each of the gallery artists was asked to contribute two past works that haven’t been recently exhibited. I chose two collaged drawings from a 2004 unfinished “manual animation” which imagined an E.T. sequel #extraterrestrial #et #etindrag #ettheextraterrestrial
