Throughout history, artists have utilized ingenious methods of manipulating materials and processes to manifest various perceptions of reality. And by extension, many artists from the marginalized to the mainstream have challenged the notions of truth and its tenuous relationship with reality. Today, with the loss of faith in institutions to provide a collective comprehension of truth while autocratic leaders espouse misconceptions and misinformation, citizens are left to forge their own understandings. In this exhibition the participating artists will explore the manipulation of reality and its tricky and fraught relationship with truth.
