This wall gathers material from the original life of @overheard_in_the_gallery on Instagram. Part archive, part proof of concept, it traces the early language, tone, and thinking that shaped the project. These posts held the first version of the conversation: observations, overheard lines, critiques, jokes, and fragments that made clear there was an audience for text-based work about art and the world around it. Displayed together, they offer context for the project’s return and evidence of its continuity. The format has changed, but the attention and intention behind it has not.
