Join us for an Art Talk exploring (3 words): an art game of telephone and discover how three simple words connect artists and inspire an evolving chain of artwork throughout the gallery.
Come hear more about the creative process, connections, and surprises behind this playful exhibition.
Featuring an expanding network of Bay Area artists, (3 words) is a visual and verbal art game in which the exhibition theme mutates playfully over the course of the show. An artist chooses one work of art and describes it to another artist in just 3 words. Using those words as a prompt, the second artist chooses a work of their own to exhibit, then shares 3 words about that piece to a third artist. And so on, until the gallery is filled.
Will artworks added later in the game retain traces of the original theme, or will they forge into entirely new territory? We’ll follow the threads and find out.
