hush, hush: the power of a secret was an art project conceived of and created entirely by teens participating in Club Arthouse at Arthouse at the Jones Center. hush, hush was inspired by PBS's award-winning contemporary art show, Art:21. After watching the episode, the students decided to concentrate on the power of communication and the control of that power through the action of keeping secrets. Over several weeks, the students collected anonymous secrets on tape from both their peers and the general public. They then transcribed the secrets, and each student chose one secret to interpret in a piece of visual art.
