Adam Waldron-Blain is a famous artist in Edmonton. Last year he created an exhibition at the Art Gallery of Alberta, and showed works at Harcourt House, Xpace External Space (Toronto), Whippersnapper Gallery (Toronto) and made work on residency at SÍM (Reykjavík). In recent years he performed at Dirt City¦Dream City in downtown Edmonton, made work in Banff, Toronto, and Glasgow during residencies, and his artworks, performances, and games appeared at events and exhibitions in Bristol, Calgary, Glasgow, Oakland, San Antonio, and around Edmonton.
“Adam Waldron Blain plays nothing but the hits” grew out of a series of performative works using music starting in 2011 when they really meant something. Before making versions of this performance in Banff and Edmonton, “Nothing but the hits” was a video blog where the artist would learn a new song every weekday for weeks at a time, and perform it somewhat poorly in his living room. Adam will talk about honesty and distance in emotion, and maybe a couple of songs, but mostly will review other people's art.
