On October 23rd and 24th, artists Caitlind Brown & Wayne Garrett are installing a pop-up art installation in Butler Memorial Park as research for a whimsical sound-based project with the Edmonton Arts Council.
You are invited to drop-in and participate in a playful game of telephone tag! Six landline-style telephones will be scattered throughout the park. Visitors are invited to pick-up the phones and initiate short-distance conversations with other park users. Maybe you'll talk to a friend or meet someone new you never thought you'd talk to. The phones are not as they seem! Part retro telephone experience, part commentary on socially-distancing, and part playful exchange between strangers, join us for this experimental park activation!
When: Saturday, Oct 23, 3 PM to 8 PM, and Sunday, Oct 24, 10 AM to 3 PM
Tag @yegarts and #IheARTEdmonton for the chance to win!
