Projects by:

Seth Lower (San Francisco)

Société Réaliste (Paris)

Goldin + Senneby (Stockholm)

with Kate Cooper (filmmaker), K.D. (fictional author),

Johan Hjerpe (graphic designer), Richard John Jones (filmmaker)

Curated by Laura Mott

From the early childhood lesson about The Great and Powerful Oz to "Weapons of Mass Destruction", we go through our lives surrounded by pretense and intentional deceit.  The artists in this exhibition confront real-life artificies--a secret society, a counterfeit offshore company, an internet scam, a faked death--and take on the additional roles of investigator and vigilante.
