SMFA Mock Class: Art of the FakeWednesday, September 25, 2024 at 7:00 PM until 8:00 PMEastern Daylight Time UTC -04:00Kurt Ralske, Professor of the Practice and Chair, Media Arts, School of the Museum of Fine Arts Pablo Picasso said: “Art is a lie -- the lie that makes us realize truth.” Artists sometimes make explorations of the boundaries between reality and illusion, between truth and fakery. How are images and beliefs connected — is it still true that “seeing is believing”? Are there parallels between the problems of truth in art, and the problems of truth in culture and politics?
