This show revolves around a group of artists who obscure logic and reinvent traditional systems to create new ways of distilling information to their viewers. Taking the most complex route to acheive the utmost clarity, these artists represent a growing restlessness with the automated information that one processes in their everyday.

Rather than create alternate realities, these artists work firmly within the world that surrounds us, using familiar visual culture and shared knowledge to introduce distinctive and individualized rereadings of sources and references that usually go unchallenged.

Newspapers, maps, the written language, advertising, and the constructed, physical space we inhabit are all means of popular communication; these artists take these conventions and introduce the viewer to a slightly shifted reality where everything makes just as much sense as before- but how we got there remains definitively unknown.
