Part I: Asking Not Telling
This fall, Part I presents videos by artists who use the tropes of documentary filmmaking to capture, record, (re)record and represent cultural memory. Voice-over narration, found footage, and reenactments only confuse a sense of history. What really happened? These works ask rather than tell. They both assume and play with viewers’ knowledge of topics ranging from film and television to politics, art history, and sci-fi fantasy. Throughout, the documentary’s hold on authoritative truth comes evocatively untethered. | | More Information: | http://www.icaphila.org | | Location: | Institute of Contemporary Art
