Based in Toronto, Canada, Dave Dyment is best known for his sound installation work, although he also works in multiples and photography. Dave has had a number of solo exhibitions, and his work has been displayed all over the world from Bulgaria to Ireland, London, Canada and the USA. Dave’s unique proposal is inspired by his interest in the collapsing of time and the notion of artists planning a work which will not be complete until their lifetime has passed.
‘I wish to produce a barrel of one hundred year-old Scotch whisky which will reach maturation in 2108. The title of the work will be ‘A Drink to Us (When We’re Both Dead)’ – ‘us’ referring to the both the artists and the buyer. The whisky itself will be the ultimate gift, a whisky that the buyer will never taste, but will pass on. Any logistical difficulties will be part of the piece, as will be all collaborations with staff, research etc. I will call upon the years of experience at the Distillery for suggestions. In this way, the work becomes relational, sculptural, research-based, durational and so on. It also continues a theme I have worked on for some years, which explores artist’s use of the commercial sale as a venue of artistic exploration.’
