Clare Strand: I´m Playing all the Notes But Not Necessarily in The Right Order

Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise are considered the most illustrious, and best-loved, double-act that Britain has ever produced. For their Christmas BBC Special, 1971, the comedians did a comedy sketch with the renowned classical conductor André Previl. Eric Morecambe (the funny guy to Wises’s straight man), replaced the orchestras pianist and provided a shambolic performance that sabotaged Previn’s, Concerto. Previn, furiously shouts ‘You’re playing all the wrong notes!’ Morecambe cuttingly replies, ‘I’m playing all the right notes… just not necessarily in the right order.’

In this talk, Clare Strand will attempt to relate and compare this comic moment to her artistic practice, which places the photographic medium at its core, but then widens into painting and musical performance.

This talk will be an informal journey that will hopefully draw together the right kind of ideas… just not necessarily in the right order. It is recommended to anyone who is interested in how photography can be artistically combined with painting and musical performance.“
