Who RU2 Day: Mass Media and the Fine Art Print

Drawn from the museum’s collection, this exhibition features work by contemporary artists who exploit printed and photographic media in ways that intentionally reveal the confusing line between art and information, fact and fiction. Many of the works purposely or playfully leverage the appropriation and manipulation of media to challenge perceptions of truth. Others use the anonymity of printed words to question “reliable” sources or to expose the role of mass media in perpetuating cultural and personal bias. By rejecting or modifying traditional fine print techniques, these works also challenge notions of high art and its historically authoritative stance.
