Description: An exhibition conceived as an exploration of reality, fantasy and representation from the perspectives of four artists whose work focuses on, or alludes to, the relationship between constructed models and the realities they represent. Individually, each of the participating artists anticipates and invokes a imaginative sensibility of constructed environments. Collectively, the works of these artists initiates a dialogue about the ironic and paradoxical tendencies of representation.
In an age where the boundaries between the real and the imaginative are continually subjected to re-evaluation and reformulation, SuperModels takes a different tact, opening up the discourse of representation and fantasy to a non-competitive field of inquiry in which the fictional takes on the properties of the real and the real assumes a symbolic role in sustaining the imaginary. Between the paradoxical and potentially futile attempts to decipher an authenticity to contemporary living, Supermodels intensifies the debate by presenting a series of works whose primary mandate is to question the collapse of representation and narrative, offering a diversity of positions on the face of the real in an age of proliferating creativity
