That Only You and I Can Know
New Interactive Works by Caitlin Perkins
August 27-October 23, 2008
Hicks Art Center Gallery
Bucks County Community College

This project is about a simple act of giving and receiving between two people. I'm asking a basic question, how will people interact with an installation that needs them to participate?

My job, as the artist, is to set up a gallery--creating a place, and time for this to occur--and your job, as the viewer, is to suspend judgment, let it all "hang out" and definitely play with the art.

What do you get to play with? A good question. I won't reveal all the secrets, but what you will find when you walk in the gallery are a series of interactive booths. I chose technologies and items from a slightly recent history: the telephone booth, the photobooth and a kissing booth in which to test and play with the audience. Yes, there is a bit of nostalgia - but not sentimentality.

I hope to see you soon.
Best,
Caitlin
