On occasion of the closing day of Truth is/is not, artist Martha Rosler will lead a walkthrough of the exhibition. Join the artist in the gallery on Saturday, May 10 at 3pm.
Since the 1960s, the Brooklyn-based artist's practice has been defined by a sharp and unfiltered perspective on contemporary social and political issues of the public sphere, often through addressing the unexamined acceptance of the systems that create and define them. Drawing from works across decades, the exhibition examines how political consciousness is molded through the dissemination of ideas and truisms by mass media, reinforced by constant repetition.
The exhibition's title is borrowed from a recent essay by the artist published on The Brooklyn Rail's Critics Page, "truth is, or is not," in which Rosler unpacked the changing landscape of ideological approaches toward truth and its place in the contemporary art world.
