Contains essay by Dick Goody and collaborative statement by the artists.Oakland University Art Gallery is excited to host Telegraph in their Detroit debut. Successful artist collectives are invariably fluid and dynamic but not always unified by the cohesive bond of a particular critical platform. The artists comprising Telegraph present a catholic variety disciplines and approaches. Roughly of the same generation, most of them studied at Cranbrook Academy of Art at the beginning of the new millennia. What chiefly keeps them together is camaraderie and the opportunities of mutual support afforded by the internet, for rarely, if ever, are they physically together in the same space that’s showing their work. The common thread, if they have one, is a shared sensibility for architectonic form, craft and design, and this is what is most often articulated in their internal dialogues. They flourish as a collective for tactical rather than strategic reasons and it is the policy of showing together that has yielded success both critically and commercially. Being Telegraph provides positive opportunities for their work to travel collectively to national venues. At the same time, each artist is determinedly pursuing his or her own personal trajectory.en-USIn CopyrightUsers assume all responsibility for questions of copyright, invasion of privacy, and rights of publicity that may arise in using reproductions from the library's collections.Oakland University Art GalleryOakland University.
