About this exhibition
Having just finished our ‘Totems and Talismans’ exhibition we mount an exhibition around the theme ‘Lines of Communication’. It’s not hard to see the ubiquitous telephone pole as a totem a spirit guide of communication. Sentinels of communication bearing the weight of the lines that connect us.
The iconic telephone lines that link us together seemed like such a marvel of technology just a short time ago, but now appear quaint as we look at the future of the information highway. Signals transmitted from cellphone to microwave tower to satellite and back point to the redundancy of our telephone lines that we now refer to as land lines the horse and buggy of the communication infrastructure.
Telephone poles with lines strung from pole to pole, from house to house, from city to city.Connecting us, the lines hum and vibrate in the night.
Imagine the conversations - dozens, hundreds, thousands of voices.
A cacophony of communication seen but unseen as one gazes from below the lines.
Lines of laughter, lines of tears. Connections made and lost.A call unanswered waiting for connection.
All transmitted from pole to pole, from house to house, from city to city.
Paintings are one of our most ancient and enduring forms of communication and of course preceded the early telephone networks. Paintings still remain a tangible and effective mode of communication. In this exhibition eight artists share their interpretations of ‘Lines of Communication’. We hope you’ll join the dialogue. Mark Donley, April 2012
