The Tabla Rasa Gallery at 224 48th St. in Sunset Park is opening a new exhibition, “Fake News Art and Artifice,” on Saturday, Jan. 6.
According to a Tabla Rasa news release, “The term `fake news’ has entered our everyday lexicon referring to a simplistic dismissal of factual information, which thereby attempts to turn verifiable truths to fiction. Conversely, in artistic expressions, often just the opposite occurs. Truth is revealed through fiction.”
“Most works included in this exhibition reference, incorporate, or mimic publications which utilize the printed word, often in the form of a newspaper, informational documents. Also included are works that utilize video, as another source of informational content,” according to the gallery.
