The first fiction of this show is its title. These artists pull directly from the world around them, each in relentless investigation. Utilitarian and didactic exercises are given priority over the inward gaze. Exacting contours divide the diverse works from each other, which operate as tips of icebergs moving through a spectrum of languages, as an array of portals into kaleidoscopic excess. Themes as divergent as memory, confession, forensics, advertising, sexuality and authorship are butted up against one another, offering complex paradigms of truth and falsehood with a photographic hinge. Fictions is organized in conjunction with the second issue of Adam Marnie's magazine F, which will be released at Printed Matter on January 22, 2015. A performance by Adam Gordon will occur on January 9th, from 1 - 5 pm in Midtown.
