"Robert Berman Gallery presents a solo art exhibition from David Trulli titled “All Lines Are Busy,” a collection of new work that explores modern human networks and our ability to disconnect from them.
“Since the invention of the telephone we have become more and more inter-connected” says Trulli, “somehow, though, we still manage to find our own separate places, real or imagined.”David Trulli works in scratchboard: a white clay-coated board, covered with black ink. Fine knives are used to delicately scrape the ink away, creating the image.
Whether by phone, computer or mere proximity, we are more interconnected than at any time in history. We exist in, and are surrounded by, invisible networks. Sooner or later, though, most of us would like to “disconnect” even if just for a little while.
It may not be possible to sever the links, but is it really necessary? There are so many connections, and with them so high a noise level, that maybe we can still find cover and comfort in spite of it all.
We are at once connected and disconnected, exposed and hidden. It is just one paradox of our modern lives.
-David Trulli

" “All Lines Are Busy,” refers to the broadly understood irony of ubiquitous communication technology’s impact on society. We are both more connected and more isolated than ever, increasingly relying on mediated perceptions of the world as we voraciously devour information via the internet and cable news at the expense of real human contact. Trulli observes that “the people in most of the works seem to exist in a sort of fragile sanctuary; private places where the real world is very close at hand and always on the verge of intruding.” What is less immediately clear is whether they are in that limbo by choice, circumstance or the requirements of poetry.

Excellence is not nearly as interesting to Trulli as authenticity, and in the end the harmonious dissonance of his images buzzes and hums like the city itself. "
