Truth or Consequences: An Insite Exhibition Tour with Paulette Phillips
Truth or Consequences: An Insite Exhibition Tour with Paulette Phillips, OCAD U faculty, Integrated Media
Wednesday, September 24 at 6:30 p.m.
Please join us at Onsite with Paulette Phillips, Toronto-based contemporary artist and educator at OCAD University. Phillips will lead a tour discussing her research and practice in relation to Onsite's exhibition Getting Rid of Ourselves. Currently Phillips is creating an archive of artist portraits using a polygraph, a camera and series of questions that frame the basis of self-representation.The Directed Lie, 2012, explores our understanding of truth, identity, judgement and authority. Truth be told, this should be a very revealing talk.
Exhibition Dates: July 16 to October 11, 2014
Getting Rid of Ourselves presents artists and artistic collaborations whose work in different ways obscures, delegates, withdraws or complicates the conventional signs of authorship and artistic subjectivity. Works in the exhibition question the link between art and self-expression through tactics of anonymity, shared authorship, appropriated identities, delegated production, and financial speculation. Highlighting how subjectivity is treated as a form of living currency to exploit, market and sell to, the exhibition explores the diffusion and distribution of artistic agency and intellectual property.
