About the event
From the start of lens based media, there has always been the expectation of truth. This media can influence subjectivity or otherwise reflect viewers. Images are often used as a point of reference beyond a singular context. As the concept of truth becomes less reliable, it has become the responsibility of artists to create their own. This exhibition is seeking contemporary, lens based work that transcends typical expectations of photographic fact. Whether in camera, digitally compiled, or physically composed, The Prelude: Constructing Truth challenges the traditional notions of reality and places our photographic identifications firmly in the future.
Opening Reception September 12 6 - 8pm Artist Talk September 17 6 - 8pm Closing Event & Film Screening September 29 2 - 5pm
