CURRENT SHOW (10/10 - )
”Telephone”

This international art game includes 1,388 original, interconnected works by artists from more than 900 cities in 65 countries. The physical exhibit, spread across both Base Camp Studios’ galleries, will feature museum-quality installations that bring the game to life.

This project is based on the children’s game Telephone, also known as Operator, Stille Poste, Teléfono Descompuesto, Telefon Shavur, Whispers, Ear-to-ear, 伝言ゲーム (でんごん ゲーム, Tichá Pošta, Głuchy Telefon, and countless other names. You remember the game—you whisper something to your neighbor who whispers it to their neighbor and so on, until at the end the message is revealed, sometimes similar and sometimes wildly different. In academic speak, TELEPHONE explores the concepts of ekphrasis and intersemiotic translation.

The interactive online exhibition, unveiled at the same time as the physical exhibit, will allow visitors to explore hundreds of unique threads created by artists of every art form.

This behemoth of a project is the brainchild of @nathan.m.langston, and made possible with support from @satellitecollective and @psychopompprojects.
