We tell false truths, stir up fabrications and forgeries. And that makes things interesting. The Colorado Photographic Arts Center, presents a new exhibition, Lies, featuring the work of 10 contemporary artists who explore photography’s complex relationship to the truth and the effects of misinformation on American culture. The exhibition is juried by Richard McCabe, Curator of Photography at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans and runs through October 6th, 2018.
