AT TELEPHONEBOOTH GALLERY

Dear Friends

In the 28th year of this project we have hit some milestones,
the location had some work done, the dust has mostly cleared,
and we move forward.

Closing reception including works from Lynus Young shared with the gallery for
the Winter Invitational of 2019-2020 and included in the Winter Invitational 2022-23.
This will be a coffee and orange juice affair December 16, 2023 9am - 2pm.
Maybe some pizza.

An artist recently commented on Telephonebooth being unencumbered by a style,
I should have explained I was raised by rational thinking pluralists,
if I did lapse into a particular style as a gallerist I would find that unfortunate and boring.

If you didn't know the story you might think Napoleon was still king or why Jacques Louis David as a propagandist will never be taught in Missouri -

Missouri covid on the rise.
Telephonebooth Gallery requests social distance and masks.
Please get vaccinated.

random gallery notes, assorted other etcetera

New clients
Most artists understand if a gallery scene is oriented around art as entertainment that paradigm primarily benefits the owners of the circus not the performers. The other issue with entertainment art is the drive towards easily digestible content puts smart artists in last place.
Shows involving scholarship and curatorial acumen are considered "not accessible" and the result is safe, easy corporate production gets promoted, certified by consultants and collected.

2020-2021 concurrent shows up likely through April 24.

Gallery Statement

“I have to give you credit, you are not very self aware, but if someone holds a mirror to your face, you are not afraid to look” Aaron Korsh

If Star Trek was some reflection on the id, ego and superego from the 60’s, maybe Suits has parallel for what recently passed as conversation between ideals of pluralism and tolerance.
