Art by Telephone...Recalled As part of Season #1 – You have a message, La Panacée - Centre for Contemporary Art, Montpellier, France, hosted the project Art by Telephone … Recalled. This exhibition revives a selection of works from the legendary exhibition Art by Telephone that took place at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Chicago in 1969, extending it today with contributions from new artists. The works are first orally conveyed by telephone to then be interpreted, activated and produced by art students. Alessandro De Francesco's instruction was the following: «Write the word "perception" on a white and soft surface using black ink or paint, or else write the same word on a black and soft surface using white ink or paint. Once you have chosen the color and the surface, write the word twice to make it readable in two ways, directly and reflected by a mirror. Then, swell the surface using air or a body mass so to modify and enhance its initial form. Operate the deformation on text and surface as smoothly as possible in order to create an ephemeral sphere. The surface and the text may have any dimension.» Listen HERE to Alessandro De Francesco giving his instruction on the phone (first in French, then in English).
