"White Lies, Black Noise" Exhibition
Rush Arts Gallery
This event has ended.
Change is in the air but revolution is in the art. And truths are as relative as the realities of those strong enough to suffer them and still stand. Therefore, while the political landscape has recently transformed, artists will continue to crack the surface of the “real” until time ad infinitum. White Lies, Black Noise presents six emerging artists sparking this upheaval in a variety of mediums including photography, sculpture, video, and text. These artists have taken this spirit of questioning into essentially private spaces for eventual public display.
Only the brave surface.
White Lies, Black Noise offers work that examines the fractures in the social, sexual, and racial territories of the America that is, while conjuring frameworks for the viewer to imagine the new identities to come. Hence, this exhibition demonstrates that there is no subject unfit for examination by voices from realities positioned only temporarily at the margins of discourse.
Everyone can get touched. Every-thing is fit for inspection. Faced with the burden of history—both personal and public, political and cultural—Ricky Day, LaToya Frazier, Anthony Fuller, Shani Peters, Amin Rehman and Philip Robinson break through the boundaries of the discourses with which they are concerned. Individually, their work informs us that there is nothing to be gained by remaining silent. As an exhibition, White Lies, Black Noise therefore introduces artists who recognize the value in sounding-off on frequently secreted issues. The tool that will shatter by-gone discourses is noise. And if silence is golden then noise represents the new
danger.
