“Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all.”
― Guy de Maupassant

Bird on the right - "Are you listening to me? And another thing....."

detail of Conversation, Tim Lowly © 2005, installation (in the North Park University Art Faculty exhibition 2005) with drawing, microphone, cable, spackle and text
The following text, which was displayed on the wall beside the installation, apparently is a transcription of people discussing this artwork as recorded via the microphone suspended above the piece. The cable from the microphone goes into the wall and it is unclear whether the microphone is actually functional or not.
Text part two (part one)
Humming woman: “…springtime calls her children until she lets them go at last…”
Loud woman: Not that song again! My room-mate said her art prof listened to that guy all the time last year!
Humming woman: You mean the guy who made this?
Loud woman: What? No the guy who made that big river painting last year.
Humming woman: I think that this is the same guy.
Loud woman: Oh, I guess so. This is pretty different. Maybe he got tired.
Humming woman: I think this is about the end times.
Loud woman: (laughing) You are so full of it!
Humming woman: (laughing) “…a baby sings in all our bones, so scared to be alone!”

Woman with Korean accent: Do you know Yoon Hee?
Tim Lowly: Yes. How did you…
Woman with Korean accent: She goes to my church. She said, “My teacher Tim Lowly looks like Jesus.”
Tim Lowly: (laughing) Do you think so?
Woman with Korean accent: Not really.
Tim Lowly: Actually I made this drawing on top of a sketch Yoon Hee left lying in the drawing studio.
Woman with Korean accent: You made this? Is this a painting?
Tim Lowly: Well there is some paint on it…
Woman with Korean accent: Are you recording?
Tim Lowly: I can never remember which way that on-off switch works on the microphone.
Woman with Korean accent: I like the shadow…

Man with soft voice: Look this is the one I was telling you about. I think it’s kind of funny.
Anxious Woman: Really? It makes me nervous. I don’t like things hanging over my head.
Man with soft voice: Well, I think it’s safe, but you can stand over here in case it falls.
Anxious Woman: Yes, but the drawing seems kind of insolent.
Man with soft voice: Insolent? You mean arrogant?
Anxious Woman: Asking, asking. Everybody always asking…
Man with soft voice: Relax Courtney…

Jock: (noise of ball bouncing on floor) This one makes me think of what is going on down on the Gulf Coast.
Skeptical Woman: What?
Jock: You know, people giving to other people. Like this hand is offering and the microphone is listening…
Skeptical Woman: (snorting) Jocks!
Jock: Hey, I took an art class!
Skeptical Woman: And that makes you some kind of expert!
Jock: (drifting off, bouncing ball) I didn’t say I was…
(lobby noise)
Man: Maybe it’s about gas prices.
Woman: What? (laughing) You are nuts! Everything is about cars for you.
Man: No, it’s kind of like one of those gas pump lines that hangs down…
Woman: All you need is a steering wheel for that hand to grab!
Man: (grumbling) I paid for lunch…

Art Major with Generic Voice: This reminds me of this art book I saw in the library. It was about an Italian artist…Margarita Mozerella or something like that. There was this long text based on a stenographer’s transcript of people at a gallery opening. No way I could read all that!
Man with mellow voice: I like to read things like that. And crossword puzzles. Have you played one of those new Japanese puzzle games in the paper.
Art Major with Generic Voice: I don’t like newspapers. That fence thing uses newspaper.
Man with mellow voice: This is kind of like a puzzle….maybe.
Art Major with Generic Voice: I’m taking advanced painting with this guy…he’s kind of strange….
Man with mellow voice: You’re one to talk.
Art Major with Generic Voice: Hey, just because I dress different…
