Phone Art Box Project Tour: Sun. Oct. 27
A public art project re-purposing a rapidly disappearing material culture--the once ubiquitous phone booth.
Join us on Sunday, October 27 to tour the five boxes completed in Somerville's newest public art project. Complete with refreshments, artists on hand, and the Mayor. The phone booth has become forgotten. What's a City to do with abandoned boxes on sidewalks and building walls... turn them into public art said Mayor Joe. And behold, the Council has teamed up with the Nave Gallery to reach our industrious public artists to commission more public art in the City.
If you appreciate quirky serendipitous public art in Somerville, please come by.
The fabulous folks at Diesel Cafe are providing coffee and hot cider for the start of the tour.
We'll start the tour with Rachel Mello's [hey! that's me!] phone-box at
2 p.m., at the corner of Highland Ave. and Vinal Ave. (by the turn in for Main Library).
and then continue every twenty minutes, with the Mayor.
2:20: Pauline Lim (East Somerville)
2:40: Friends of Public Library (Ball Square)
3:00: Gary Duehr (Davis-- there are actually *two* art boxes in Davis!)
If you wish to do a box please submit an application to the Nave at navegallery.org/wp/phone-art-box-call.
For more information and to see visuals of the boxes please go to:
