"...ENTERING AND EXITING THE GALLERY, one can hear another voice: the call of The Return, Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay's striking audio installation, which casts the voice of a member of the Vienna Boys' Choir to impersonate an air raid siren. Whether charting our libidinal investment in pop songs or, as in his most recent work, invoking queer legacies and lineages, Nemerofsky Ramsay's work always returns to the emotive power of the voice and its relationship to identity, expression and ego. In The Return one boy's feminine, high-pitched voice - perhaps echoing the artist's own effeminate timbre at a remove of three decades - acts as an alarm call to warn us to our present state of emergency, drawing our attention to the urgency for new ways of thinking about ourselves as political subjects and of our duties as full citizens of the world."
