Sept 8 - Oct 7 2006
Truck Gallery, Calgary, AB

Interactive, community-based project created in collaboration with Erin MacMillan for Truck Gallery.

Meeting as a result of an open call, Erin and Shelley agreed to meld Shelley's love of "community" and Erin's obsessive "what if". For months, the ladies played a game of their own design. While awaiting an enormous delivery of more than 2500 toy trucks, the collaborators set out to call every person currently a member of Truck. The purpose of each call was to thank the member for their support of Calgary's visual art community, to ask the member for the names of two others who should be acknowledged. Each person Erin and Shelley telephoned were invited to come to Truck during the course of the tag exhibition to claim their gift.

Each person contacted through the initial phases of the project were acknowledged with a toy truck altered for the project and labeled specifically for them.
