ARTIFICE

An exploration of the status of the artificial as the antithesis of ‘nature’ or ‘truth’ is central to the approach of the artists included in Artifice. Using very different strategies and techniques, the artists focus on the complexity and uncertainty of perception and on the differences and affinities between what is perceived as ‘natural’ and what is perceived as ‘artificial’. At a time when the implications of genetic modification and cloning have become a real issue, it is not surprising that the blurring of distinctions between illusion and reality should be a subject for consideration by artists.

Artists include: Adam Chodzko, Tacita Dean, Graham Gussin, Siobhan Hapaska, Stephen Murphy, Simon Starling, Jane & Louise Wilson
