Dear Artists,
The Spring 2011 Alumni on 5 asked artists to discuss their own necessary fictions as expressed in their art. We explored personal histories and which facts and which fictions we reveal and conceal, as a means of existence.
In coordination with the Columbia College Chicago Library and Critical Encounters, the Fall 2011 Alumni on 5 Exhibition, "Revolution of Self", will explore the rawness of self-portraiture and self-exploration when it is approached with honesty, both brutal and beautiful; our necessary non-fictions.
What is a self-portrait and how can you use it to express revolution of self
What happens when everything you thought you once knew has been altered; when the necessary fictions melt away?
What does this change look like?
