Pay attention to Telephone: An International Arts Experiment! / Zobacz Telephone: An International Arts Experiment!

It is worth to pay attention to Telephone: An International Arts Experiment - online exhibition curated by Nathan Langston. Today #SatelliteCollective announces the launch of the TELEPHONE, an international arts game played by over 300 artists from 159 cities in 42 countries.

The idea of this project is rooted in children’s game Telephone (also called Operator or Grapevine). For example painting created by one artist is received by another artist and artistic message is interpreted. This creates a chain of works (poetry, prose, sculpture, music, painting, installation - all technique allowed!).

The most interesting for me in this process is aspect that Casey Kelbaugh pointed: I am fascinated to see where the thread leads from here! This was certainly one of the most pure and exciting explorations of the creative process in which I have ever taken part.

I am happy that I can see artworks by Polish artists Kasia M.Rymarz and Joanna Draszawka on the Telephone online exhibition. Kasia M.Rymarz created very intriguing painting installation interpreting Ethan Woods music, which is rich with images. During the process of translating someone’s work the main difficulty was how to change the language of music into the language of visual arts. The music shows plenty of possibilities for interpreting sounds. The music is like freedom and it gives the possibility to experience some different space. It seems to be impossible to catch music and change it into a more disciplined composition like a painting. That is why I decided to make a painting object with light. – Kasia said.

I am under impression of thread, which starts from Silvino Gonzáles Morales drawing - interpretation of Satellite Collective prose:

Oh God thy sea is so great and my boat is so small.“
— Breton Fisherman’s Prayer

Then the the line leads to sculpture by Amos Oaks:

Next it leads to poetry by Robin Dunn (great!)

 

The Blue Hat

This is a blue hat.
It loves you real long time,
On your head,
In your Africa closet,
Next to the submarine,
This is your blue hat,
Eating its way out,
Screaming its way out,
Making nice with the kiddies,
This is your blue hat,
A pounding prince,
With cut fingernails and a mouth full of religion,
Demanding that it be cut down in the revolution.

And it ends with installation by Maurizio Fusillo. His installation gives a space to further intelectual considerations.

For summary let's read what Joanna Draszawka said:

I think, that Telephone accompanies us every day. Every word we say, every gesture, is subject to various interpretations. Losing the original message is inevitable.

Congratulations for all the Telephone artists and thanks to #SatelliteCollective!
