First Time in Connecticut

iPhone Art Exhibition at the Windsor Art Center

Yes, it's more than a phone. It is a canvas for many artists who create work that will challenge your imagination and what you have thought of as art. If you own an iPhone, or even if you don't, you owe it to yourself to find out what can be done with a phone at this first exhibition of iPhone art here in Connecticut. And if this isn't enough, you will be further challenged with three music installations created by three local musicians working with digital media. We assure you won't go away without having learned something about what is new and exciting in the art world today.

iPhone artists featured in the exhibition include:

Russ Croop (Boulder, CO), Christine Finkelson (NYC), Luis Peso (Granada, Spain), Corliss Blakely (St. Albans, VT), Bob Poe (Santa Monica, CA), Andrea Mdos (Spain), C dric Philippe (France), Mathew Watkins (Italy), David Liebowitz (Teaneck, NJ), Susan V Murtaugh, (Two Rivers, WI), Kara Jansson Kovacev (NYC), Joseandr s Guijarro Ponce (Spain), John Bavaro (Erie, PA) and Benjamin Rabe (Germany).

Musicians Lief Ellis, Matt Sargent and Todd Merrill, all from Greater Hartford, will create site specific work to accompany the iPhone exhibition.

In 2009 an iPhone application (app) developer released an app called Brushes to the ever growing iPhone App Store. It allowed you to do fingerpaintings on the iPhone in a very simple and intuitive way. Several weeks later some extraordinary paintings started to be posted online. A Flickr-group soon formed around the Brushes App and accumulated a vast amount of diverse and utterly creative painters and art work. iPhone painting and fingerpainted iPhone art has taken off and includes one artist who has designed covers for The New Yorker magazine.

There is little question that many artists have found a new "sketchbook" that is easy to always have with them. However, is use of an iPhone in this manner a fine art medium or will this use pass as a fad? Come to this exhibition and make a decision for yourself.

Welcome summer with iPhone Wherefore Art Thou? Gallery hours are Thursdays 6-8 PM, Saturdays 10-4 and Sundays 11-4. Please consult www.windsorartcenter.org for further information and directions.

This iPhone exhibition is made possible through a generous gift from an anonymous donor.
