Psst. Local artists pass it on

“The Telephone Show” exhibit at the ByrneBoehm Gallery will translate messages into art, offering a unique way to explore how people communicate and interpret what they hear.

 

According to excerpts from the story:

 

Area artists may feel like kicking themselves after they visit "The Telephone Show," an unusual exhibit opening June 2 at the ByrneBoehm Gallery.

 

The show is a visual arts version of the old children's game of passing a whispered message from person to person to see how it changes, only the "message" that mutates in this case is a piece of art.

 

The artists didn't set out to copy the "message" they received but instead had free rein to "pick up on a color scheme or ... whatever they wanted to pull," said artist Kelly Allen.
