“Static” at Durden and Ray investigates the electric buzz of communication and its effect on the tellers and the receivers. A panel discussion on “Fake News, Real News and Trust in Journalism” will kick off the run of the show. The exhibition includes the art of journalists, and of artists speaking to the impact of today’s media. The pairing explores what happens when you put the lens of art, fraught with emotionality and personal perceptions, next to the factual lens of journalism. Does it provide a more comprehensive view of the current state of affairs, or is it just a more beautiful form of static?
