A Choir of Dogs features over 50 large and small sculptural dogs that the artist has been developing as an installation for over seven years. Suggesting fictitious choruses of canine tenors, baritones and sopranos, Sweet’s dogs will be arranged in duets, trios and quintets both on and around a stage-set installation. Operatic soprano Lisa Gasteen has also contributed to the exhibition, naming Sweet’s sculptures as classical characters including Papageno and Papagena from Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) and Dapertutto from Offenbach’s Les contes d'Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann).
