Rob Pettit
April 10 - May 3, 2008 - Grossman Gallery @ SMFA
Twenty-six year old artist, Rob Pettit does the art that I love by taking other peoples trash and turning them into great art, everyone then wants. People goes through cellphones like candy these days, Rob Pettit adopts them, has even developed numerous colds from their history. He does love the history though of each phone, with all the conversations made, and how people care so much for their phones, until their newest one. He never had collections as a child, so he started collecting cellphones, and now makes art out of them. He is not trying to make a point of cellphone waste, he's just trying to make something else out of them. His show started yesterday, until the start of May. How many phones have you had, just think, one of these cellphones he uses could be your old phone.
