Over the past year my friend Caleb Neelon has worked with over 125 kids from all over the city of Boston to create "Signs and Symbols," now on display (through September) at the Museum of Fine Arts. The process involved showing children, ages 7-12, examples of how people have used text throughout history in all shapes and forms of artwork. From 4,000 year old hieroglyphics to a scrolling LED text piece by Jenny Holzer. Caleb may have had more fun than the kids, when asked he remarked his favorite piece by far is "Who farted."
Caleb will be giving an artist's talk on May 7th. See more information about this colorful and inspiring project here.
I like the little disclaimer on the bright green one "this is so false". It oozes young girl uncertainty and hesitation to commit to a public comment. Nice work!
