SPOONER, Cally
And You Were Wonderful, On Stage

Published on the occasion of Cally Spooner’s 2018 exhibition DRAG DRAG SOLO at the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, this booklet contains the script, scores, a text, and visuals of And You Were Wonderful, On Stage, along with an interview of the artist by Hendrik Folkerts.

And You Were Wonderful, On Stage (2013–15) is a work which has more in common with a live choreographic event than cinema. In this five-channel installation, a musical is shot in a single take. A chorus line gossip about celebrities, athletes, and politicians who outsourced their performance to a technology, whilst a marketing practice is quoted in which employees’ words and voices are tweaked to TV-commercial perfection.
