Continuing Lines: Telegraph in Esslingen

After a successful exhibition titled "Opening Lines: Telegraph in Berlin" at the Milchhof Pavilion, Telegraph is happy to announce a second itinerary of their first overseas project that will take place at the private residence of a wonderful  collectors duo that has left a bold mark in Detroit's artist community, and is continuing to do so even after their move to Germany a couple of years ago.

While the pavilion's design allowed the show to be accessible 24/7  throughout the run of the show, the exhibition in Esslingen will be open to the public only after making a prior appointment.

The seven artists of the Telegraph Art Collective originally met in Detroit, from there members spread to distant points around the United States. The collective has essentially functioned as a running conversation, typically conducted at long range. Occasionally the group organizes exhibitions and presentations that explore ideas of common interest such as architecture, history and process. Works gathered for these exhibitions also question and examine the boundaries of fine art, craft and design. Telegraph made its debut at Chicago’s Stray Show in May 2004 and has since shown together in Toronto, Kansas City, and various Detroit-area locations.

Opening Lines: Telegraph in Berlin, will take place at the Pavilion at Milchhof and represents the group’s first European venture. The exhibition will take place in a partially glass-walled pavilion that measures 14,00m long by 2,55m wide by approximately 3,00m tall. Access to the pavilion’s interior is only possible at the opening reception, after which works are to be viewed from the exterior.

The seven artists of Telegraph plan to create an exhibition that takes into consideration the specific architecture and limited accessibility of the pavilion. These parameters have acted as creative prompts that have guided what the artists made and how and where these objects are installed. Art work will range from sculpture to paintings and drawings that employ a wide range of materials and techniques.

Telegraph in Dallas and beyond

We are happy to announce that Telegraph - after a hiatus of more than one year - has planned two projects for this year. The first is our exhibition in the Free Museum of Dallas from February 8 - February 25.
The opening will be February 8 from 5 - 7 PM.

We are currently also working on an editioned set of works by all the artists of Telegraph, which will be available sometime later this Spring. We hope that all who have taken interest in our work will consider purchasing a set that will help us to realize our second project, a show in the Pavillion of Milchhof in Berlin, that will be part of the "Kunstherbst" events in Fall in the city.
