Congratulations to Visiting Lecturer Anthony Palocci, whose work is currently being featured in the Museum of Modern Art’s Design Store!

This MoMA Exclusive, original five-color screenprint, Voice-Operated, Hands-Free 5-Channel Walkie-Talkie with Headset Mic, was created by Anthony Palocci Jr. in 2019 as part of Kayrock’s limited edition FreshPrints! series. Palocci received his MFA from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York in 2012 with a concentration in painting and drawing. 

“I found this walkie talkie while cleaning out my grandfather’s house in the woods of New Hampshire after he died. I like thinking about hiding in the woods and speaking to him on a two-way radio, ‘Ciao, Nonno. Is it time for supper?’ I am interested in the geometry of packaging and the architecture, structure and tactility of older technologies, I find their power as objects to be used, handled and manipulated a rich source of contemplation.” —Anthony Palocci Jr.
