    Event Details:
    This exhibition presents recent art that highlights the increasingly pervasive concern with the issue of control. Corporate malfeasance, government-sponsored spying, preemptive war, challenges to civil liberties, and misinformation in the media provide an endless stream of news concerning the manipulation of power and resources. Such episodes offer provocative inspiration to artists worldwide.

    In works that suggest a shift from the interrogations of power that dominated late-twentieth-century artistic practice, the artists represented in this exhibition subtly explore the strategies and ambiguities of power in the age of YouTube. Demonstrating curiosity and an appetite for critical inquiry, they offer coolly objective work that raises rather than answers the question of control.
