Join 21c Museum Manager Jennifer Murray for an immersive tour of our current exhibition Truth or Dare: A Reality Show, every Thursday at 5:00 pm. The tour meets in the lobby of the 21c Chicago.

 

About Truth or Dare: A Reality Show

Highlighting uncertainty and contradiction, the artworks featured in the exhibition 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.
