SUMMARY:The Future of Telecommunications Was Here
DESCRIPTION:\n"Over half a decade\, I came to know this phone box's many su
 rfaces\, and kept tabs on its new stickers and spray-painted developments.
  Although I never spoke into it when it was a functioning phone\, it nonet
 heless feels like I've had a dialogue with it for years.\n\n\n\nPrepping t
 he phone box for my installation was a tricky balance. I wanted to conserv
 e the spirit of its more recent use (essentially\, a bulletin board for lo
 cal poster announcements\, and a canvas for collected street-art stickers)
 \, while sprucing it up for its big transformation.I landed on a bit of a 
 compromise. I polished the inside until it gleamed\, but only gently washe
 d the outside\, ridding it of grime and accumulated tape from flyers past\
 , while preserving more recent stickers and graffiti. (Older stickers were
  already covered with layers of silver spray paint—a touch-up job by ano
 ther invested visitor\, I presume.)\n\n\n\nMy piece aims to honor the phon
 e box's past and present. Sealed off and preserved\, the original interior
  phone machinery (or the "exoskeleton" that's left of it\, at least) is no
 w a historical object in a custom display case. Meanwhile\, the text that 
 hovers above is a modern ode to technological ephemerality—and hopefully
  starts a new conversation each day. "&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;As told by the 
 artist&nbsp\;Allison Tanenhaus\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
