Synesthesia 2009
February 25 – 28, 2009
“… strangely prophetic…” – NY Times
On September 22, 2008, a poet was asked to select and open a fortune cookie. Two weeks later, she presented her work to a painter. Two weeks after that, the painter’s work was presented to a puppetry collective. And then another artist, and then another artist… eventually, ten in all.
From February 25-28, 2009, the assembled works of all ten artists will be presented live, in-sequence, at the Wild Project in New York City’s East Village.
“Electric Pear Productions has taken the grade-school game of Telephone to a new level.” – Time Out New York
