We knew it was coming but never expected it quite so soon. The phone companies are in the process of eliminating the production and distribution of the residential white pages.
This is the essential material in Alex Queral's carved telephone book portraits.
Please give us your phone books!!!
If you're in the Philadelphia area, please bring them to the gallery.
If you're near Miami, bring them to us at either the Red Dot or Verge fairs in December or Miami International Art Fair in January. If you're near Palm Beach, bring them to us during Art Palm Beach in January.
Because we are very mindful of our carbon footprint, we are not asking anyone to mail them to use.
We would love to have any and all residential white pages. Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, anywhere in between. However - PLEASE NO YELLOW PAGES.
Please spread the word to your friends and neighbors. Alex will recycle them into beautiful and unique pieces of art.
