“This collection of astonishing texts confirms Colin as one of our greatest raconteurs.  His video eye may have framed our fragrant, lurid foibles, but it was his video ear that most eloquently captured our blurts and falters: those words we struggle and seduce with, those we misspeak and mishear, voiceovers that snip and bite and blur and dangle from our mouths. Delirious queer words, deliciously out of step.”
John Greyson, video/film artist, Fig Trees, Lilies, Zero Patience

“I discovered the remarkable artwork of Colin Campbell around 1975. I was taken by how he brazenly stood alone and faced a video camera to record his witty and urbane monologues. Straddling the line between fact and fiction, his videos showed him brilliantly delivering a text with the candour of a TV commercial actress and the veracity of a handsome newscaster. I exhibited Colin’s early masterpiece, Conundrum Clinique (1981), and quickly added it to MoMA’s video collection. More Voice-Over will secure this pioneering artist’s richly deserved place in video art’s history.”
Barbara London, author of Video/Art: The First Fifty Years, initiator of the podcast Barbara London Calling, and former MoMA curator

"More Voice-Over: Colin Campbell Writings is an impressive labour of personal commitment and erudition on the part of editor Jon Davies. It also confirms the groundbreaking brilliance and coherence of Colin Campbell as a writer, hitherto known as a pioneering Canadian queer video artist. Davies’s important collection fills a major gap in international as well as English Canadian cultural history."
