Linda Duvall:
Enough White Lies to Ice a Wedding Cake

Linda Jansma
Dan Ring

 

Enough White Lies to Ice a Wedding Cake by Saskatoon-based artist LInda Duvall challenges our ability to interpret deceits of representation and identity in our daily lives, inciting relfection on the capacity of humans to lie, and on the place of storytelling and scientific objectivity in constructing reality.

 

Comprising two works: Reinvented and Polygraph, and involving participatory performance from selected subjects, this intriguing exhibition occupies an interdisciplinary realm that combines aesthetics, sociology, and technology.
