Marres Currents # 5: I spy, I spy, a little lie is the fifth episode of the annual exhibition series titled Marres Currents. With this series, Marres presents recently graduated artists from art academies in the Southern Netherlands, Belgium, and Western Germany. In doing so, Marres provides a platform for emerging artists and curators, and contributes to an international infrastructure for talent development.
We see, we hear, we read, we exchange
and we get lost.
I spy, I spy a little lie, arose in response to growing frustrations regarding access to information and the valuation of knowledge. Recent events such as the Brexit referendum, undemocratic constitutional referendums in Poland and Turkey, and the presidential election of Donald Trump (which sparked the widespread usage of the term “fake news”) created political turmoil and left the Western world perplexed. We ask: is it still possible to protect the truth in our contemporary democratic society? And, for that matter, has it ever been possible?
