Playing TELEPHONE is simple. We will review your application and, if accepted, you will receive a confirmation email. Then, we ask that you keep your eyes peeled for an assignment. Depending on how our game unfolds, this assignment may come quickly or may take time. In this email, you will be assigned an anonymous work of art from somewhere else on earth and it will be your job to translate this artwork into your own medium. This work of art may not immediately speak to you or reveal its meaning, but trust that it contains a message. Once you’ve completed your translation, you will return your work to us, and it will be passed to another artist somewhere on our big, beautiful globe to translate in turn.
