Graham Lambkin is a multidisciplinary artist based in upstate New York, who first came to prominence in the early 90's through the formation of his music group The Shadow Ring. Combining a D.I.Y. post-punk ethic with folk music, cracked electronics, and surreal wordplay, The Shadow Ring created a unique hybrid sound that set them apart from their peers and continues to show as an influence today. Following the dissolution of The Shadow Ring Lambkin embarked on a series of striking and highly original solo releases, a critically acclaimed trilogy with experimental tape music artist Jason Lescalleet and a collaboration with legendary table-top guitarist and founding member of AMM, Keith Rowe.

To celebrate the opening of Graham Lambkin’s solo exhibition ‘Came to Call Mine’ at Audio Visual Arts, ISSUE Project Room presents a rare solo performance with support from Devin DiSanto. Devin DiSanto is an New York-based artist and composer currently focusing on labor-oriented approaches to performance. This work revolves primarily around functional uses of common/everyday objects in both solo and group situations, emphasizing the presence and impact of incidental sound.

Program:
