An installation of 14 digital phones and handsets, monofilament wire, obscured fasteners, and a 53-second audio loop.
Taking inspiration from the common modern experience with auto-attendants, and the inescapable presence of phones, the Committee desired to visually express the frustration of the impersonal-personal.
Please Remain on the Line is a collaborative work by five current artists of The Committee for Art Excellence in the Office (TCAEO). This is the thirteenth major installation by TCAEO, and the third in this installation space.
