The Theatre is Lying is also set against theatres of media and politics increasingly informed by trickery and sleight of hand. The exhibition also considers the role of the spectator, as an active agent in a world in which we are all actors, and the increasing interplay between subjective and objective and psychic and social structures.
Through the white cube of the gallery and the black box of cinema, The Theatre is Lying proposes the gallery as a transformative threshold in which to examine the potential of imagination and artifice as means to reflect upon, critique and even escape – if only momentarily – the everyday reality of our fictive life and times.
