Call Incoming… takes its cue from the playground game “Telephone”, where a whispered message morphs each time it’s passed along. Made up entirely of new, bespoke works, the inception of this show began with a piece by curator Haydn Albrow, whose work was shared confidentially to the next artist to reinterpret in their own style and medium before they passed their piece onto another. The chain continues artist by artist, culminating in an exhibition that reveals how a single artwork can evolve, distort, and transform through
multiple creative voices.

As each piece morphs through medium, material, and theme, the show celebrates the diversity of the featured artists’ interpretive lenses. While the Telephone Game is often a byword for inaccuracy or a cumulative error caused by the spread of information, “Call Incoming…” stands as a celebration of evolution of a message through interpretation and translation.

In a world of polarised discourse and remote communication where tone and nuance are so often lost in restrictive formats, “Call Incoming…” also questions our tendency to assume we have all the information we need to make a judgement – will the artwork at the end of the chain bear any resemblance to the initial piece?
