LAST CHANCE - ends on Saturday!
TEL-TALK art interventions in telephone booths
Exhibition continues to Saturday, July 14, 2012 Exhibition photographs available at http://telephoneboothgallery.ca/tel-talk.html
Coordinated by: Paola Poletto, Liis Toliao and Yvonne Koscielak
Tel-talk is an on-going project that brings together artists of varying backgrounds, from across the country, to perform in and or animate a telephone booth in response to themes surrounding public spaces, and the disappearance of traditional phone booths. Artists and writers were invited to contribute a site-specific installation, artwork, or short work of fiction, which references a unique telephone booth location. The installations began in September 2011 and continue through to July 2012. Over the last nine months, each installation was announced and documented on the Tel-talk blog ( http://tel-talk.blogspot.ca/). The Tel-talk project has culminated in the current exhibition at the Telephone Booth Gallery, along with a fabulous book which outlines contributions to the project in (phone) book form, printed under the Tightrope Books imprint. The book is now available at the gallery for $19.95. The project continues online with an open invitation to artists and writers to make their own art interventions.
