Fakin' It
Props, Stage Sets, Case Studies and Forced Emotions.  The fake in our lives is our life.  


Opening Reception Thursday April 12 5-7 pm.

Show runs till May 20th 2012 in UC's Meyers Gallery (directions and info here)
Gallery Hours:  Sun - Thursday 10 to 5

An exhibition that believes every object has layered authenticity.  Coinciding with an exhibition of forgeries by Mark Landis, Fakin' It plays with the concept of "false" by showcasing  a sincerity of materials and authentic voices of a group of international artists.  Works question the continually blurring line between sculpture and painting.  SOme explot the studio as stage for decoys and charlatans.  While others are masterfully hand -crafted versions of debris and dollar store items.  Fakin' It showcases the playfully acute struggle artists have with honesty.

Artists:  David Herbert, Cynthia Gregory, Marc Horowitz, Alex Ebstein, Seth Alesberger, 
Megan Shvaneveldt, Katie Bell, Roula Partheniou, Allan Ludwig, and Cabinet Magazine.
