September 2011: Out of the Embers by Allison Hyde
By splitting video sequences into still photos and recreating the images via printmaking, Allison Hyde examines the subtleties of fleeting moments and the nostalgia associated with recollections of the past.

August 2011: Three Images by Matt Johnson
Matt Johnson uses the theft of his iPhone by one of his college students and the final batch of downloaded photos as his inspiration.

Paintings that delve into the slow, slimy and strange world of slugs and snails.

An installation inspired by solitary confinement, padded cells, and blanket forts.

A visual interpretation of Schiele's nudes.

November 2010: Montana (erased) by Buddy Bunting
An erroneously left answering message detailing a stranger's travels through Montana form the basis for Montana (erased) and continues Buddy's exploration of the western landscape and its mythology of transcendence, openness, and expansion.

October 2010: Clicks and Pffts by Jessica Robinson, curated by Graham Bell
Using found sound and recordings of bodily noises, Clicks and Pffts crafts an aural scape that is technological but human; familiar yet alien.

August 2010: "I don't hate anyone" by Chris Sharp
Painting and a whole mess of letterpress.

June 2010: In The Garden by Nicholas Nyland

May 2010: Eternal Flicker Flame by Ben Hirschkoff
Using the all too common brass chandelier as a medium, Eternal Flicker Flame celebrates the artificial and symbolizes renewal, creation and destruction.

April 2010: Trace Evidence by Jennifer Peters and Ellen Ito
Photos of refuse left behind by visitors in museum spaces examine ideas about territory, propiety, trespassing and adaptation.

February - March 2010: Drunk Dialing by Kristen Ramirez
An installation of inscribed liquor bottles, each retelling a sordid tale of alcohol-fueled communication gleaned from friends and strangers via an internet call for drunk dialing anecdotes.

January 2010: For the Birds by Elise Richman
Intimate portraits of birds that act as surrogates and guardians, amiable yet awkward, emotional personifications that simultaneously expose and protect.

November 2009: "Is You Is?" New Drawings by Blake Haygood
The title comes from the Louis Jordan song "Is You Is or Is You Ain't (My Baby)." The question for Blake is not about his love life but about his career as an artist and gallery owner. It became clear to him that he would have to make a choice and commit to only one. Is You Is integrates drawings of disintegrating/reforming mechanical/organic objects into the space of the Telephone Room.

October 2009: Undead
A group show inspired by braineaters and bloodsuckers.

September 2009: LEGO by local artists

Inspired by Charles Bukowski and his poem "My Telephone," for his birthday month, the installation is an homage involving bottles, bones, a pillow, and more. "The Bluebird" is another Bukowski poem that Jessica enjoys.

June 17 - July 31, 2009: The Badman by Jeremy Mangan
A life-size 3D painting/sculpture of a shot-dead old-west gunfighter in a pine box, entombed within the Telephone Room, continues Jeremy's exploration of portraiture and the landscape of the notorious American west.

An examination of handiwork and decor by three artists creating in the living room: a portrait of Sasquatch; a knitted Mondrian; two garments infused into a quilt.
