In his 2008 memoir Born Standing Up, wild and crazy comedian Steve Martin recalls of his early stand-up: “I was linking the unlinkable, blending economy and extravagance, non-sequiturs with the conventional.” Surveying the range of works in Michael Dumontier and Neil Farber’s exhibition Vulnerability in transition, it’s apparent how the absurdity that underlies Martin’s comedy has influenced these artistic partners since their formative days in the late 1990s as co-founding members of Winnipeg’s ground-breaking Royal Art Lodge.
