RING RING RING
Pal project, Paris, Fr
2023
"Ring Ring Ring" is an exhibition where there's nothing to see, but everything to hear.
This experimental format brings together 100 artists and 100 telephones, but 0 works are exhibited in pal project. The telephones ring at random, allowing visitors to listen to descriptions of the works dedicated to them. The text was written by curator Andy Rankin and read by a voice synthesized from recordings of artist Carla Adra's voice. When you've finished listening to the recording, all you have to do is press a certain key on the telephone to be put in touch with the gallery owners to proceed with the acquisition of the work or its description. The audio file is a duplicable multiple until the phone stops ringing, which happens as soon as the work is sold. The title of the work, or the name of the artist who produced it, is not revealed, in order to encourage a period of listening that will stimulate the imagination. This uncertainty is accentuated by the fact that it's impossible to know when the phone will ring, or even if it will ring again. A curious sense of urgency emerges from listening to these necessarily incomplete descriptions. It's an opportunity to ask ourselves what we really retain from a work of art: is it what we see of it, what we're told about it, or what we're told about it? This exhibition is an experiment in the spread of rumors and the birth of legends.
"Ring Ring Ring" is an exhibition where there's nothing to see, but everything to imagine. "Ring Ring Ring" was made possible thanks to the invaluable technical and creative support of Telerys Communication.
