Telefonbuch (en farben), or Shawnee telephone book (in colors), is one of Kennedy’s supplementary pamphlets to an exhibition. This work, originally developed for Kunsthalle Erfurt in 2003, is composed of a series of canvases covered in paint corresponding to residents of Erfurt and Shawnee with “color names,” and arranged on two sides of a split color room representing the two places in blue and red. Kennedy’s appropriation of the names from these phone books transforms them into a visual landscape, and provides a statement of sorts about his interest in the historical significance of the colors and the exploration and the tense cultural relation between traditional and modern forms of representation. Telefonbuchlists the names used from both phone books and a provides an image of the exhibit on its back cover.
