About this Event
Fre and open to the public. Meet in the lobby at 4 pm.
Learn about 21c Chicago’s new exhibition Truth or Dare: A Reality Show, and the artists behind the works in this special guided tour with 21c Chief Curator and Museum Director Alice Gray Stites.
Highlighting uncertainty and contradiction, the artworks featured in Truth or Dare: A Reality Show emphasize the importance of questioning both knowledge and belief by utilizing illusion to entice, entertain, and explore the terrain between fact and fiction, presence and absence, reality and imagination. The suspension of disbelief is invoked in works that simulate games, maps, and tricks of the eye and hand — not to deceive but to engage and connect. Featuring painting, photography, video, and site-specific installation, Truth or Dare speaks truth to power through unconventional, often playful juxtapositions of imagery and materials. Featured artists include Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Alejandro Almanza Pereda, Trong Gia Nguyen, Siebren Versteeg, Federico Solmi, Ann Hamilton, Pedro Reyes, Leo Villareal, and Laura Letinsky, among many others.
