Join us and enjoy a glass of wine as you tour the exhibition with The Center’s curators and gallery guides.

When was the last time you received a hand-written letter? Or sent one? In this era of instantaneous communication, a handwritten letter is a rare and treasured item. From Charles Gute’s presentation of mundane tweets as Western Union telegrams to Gail Tarantino’s translations of her own letters into patterns of colorful dots, the artwork in the exhibition considers the changing nature of communication. Will social media make us less…social?

Part of The Center’s BIG IDEA project I Need to Tell You Something: The Lost Art of Letter Writing and Communication Today. Exhibition on view Feb 26–May 6, 2016 at The Center, Ketchum.
