Secret Fun (vol. i) - Installation

Secret Fun (vol. i): Ver·i·si·mil·i·tude.

12.01.12 - 1.12.13
(by appointment)
918 Dragon Street • Dallas TX 75207
secretfunstuff@gmail.com


Ver·i·si·mil·i·tude focuses on the contrasts between the decontextualized artificiality of the gallery space and the unmediated space of reality. It is a two part exhibition in which artists begin with a documented response (pt. i) to the external world, which then bleeds over into the gallery space (pt. ii).

Constant and vigilant awareness and response training is critical in preparing for the current and future threat.  This issue demands our complete attention.  With over 500+ known organizations worldwide, the face is quickly changing.  Every year, the number of attacks increases more than the previous year.  Activity is currently at an all time high, and remains the single biggest security threat to government, and society.
