Under Control
October 23, 2009 through January 3, 2010

Curators: Ginger Gregg Duggan and Judith Hoos Fox


Financial intrigue and debacle, government-sponsored spying, preemptive war, and more: an endless stream of news underscores the manipulation of power and resources with consequences for us all. The news headlines that have intrigued and horrified us of late have become, not surprisingly, inspiration for many contemporary artists worldwide.  Whether exposing the complexity or folly of conspiracy theory, or analyzing money trails and their surprising beneficiaries, all of the artists in this exhibition are essentially questioning control. Who controls whom? Who controls what? Where does it leave the rest of us? Despite the heavily-politicized subject matter, the exhibition will present an objective point of view on the power of control as a construct within our society.

Under Control will feature approximately 30 works, all created within the past 10 years, in a variety of media by artists from surprisingly vast geographic locations.
