I Wanted To Be An Actor, But I Could Never Remember My Lines

In I Wanted to be an Actor, but I Could Never Remember My Lines, Brendan Donnelly re-appropriates framed film stills, headshots, red carpet paparazzi photos and postcards and turns them into styled juxtapositions of present day and yesteryear celebrities. This new series of works, Donnelly's latest, includes 16 framed collages, a DVD collection, and a large-scale collage mural. A portion of the work, which was exhibited in October at Show Gallery in Los Angeles, has been produced as a limited-edition book, designed by Taylor Giali, as part of Hat & Beard Press's California Artist Series.
