Elusive Truths

Elusive Truths

May 2–June 14, 2008
Daily, we are inundated by a torrent of information from newspapers, television, radio, magazines and the internet, but what do we truly gather from that information? Using methodologies appropriated from corporate imagery and scientific practice, Elusive Truths explores the aesthetics of visual analysis and information graphics. Through the investigation of governmental and corporate financial strategies, mass media and the art world, artists Jess Bachman, John O’Connor, Ward Shelley and Christopher Thompson expose and decode vernacular information using charts, maps and graphs which aid the audience in probing, analyzing and deciphering our world.

Elusive Truths is sponsored in part by an anonymous donor.

This project is also supported in part by the Vermont Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts and The Vermont Community Foundation.
