I am a Lie and I am Gold is an exhibition about photography without the inclusion of a single photograph. Curated by artist Marco Breuer, the exhibition features works on paper, paintings, sculptures, textiles, and installations by 27 artists whose diverse practices engage with the idea that photography is a principle, not a product.
At the heart of I am a Lie and I am Gold is the question: how has photography influenced our perception, what we see, and how we see it? Many artists have a complicated relationship to the medium, at times working less with and more against photography. This exhibition looks at a broad set of ideas related to the medium of photography, including the deluge of news media images, the camera fetish, the photograph as translation, the unique vs. the copy, and the photographic record as fiction. The title of the exhibition is from the song I am a Photograph by Amanda Lear. Artists included in the exhibition: Joe Amrhein, Marina Berio, Mel Bochner, Nathalie Boutté, Matthew Brandt, Davide Cantoni, Marcin Cienski, Daniel Davidson, Kirsten Everberg, Natalie Frank, Erik Hanson, Eberhard Havekost, Arnold Helbling, Johannes Kahrs, Mark Khaisman, Wayne Koestenbaum, Sze Tsung Leong, Glenn Ligon, Cynthia Lin, Anna Plesset, Frank Selby, Greg Smith, Molly Springfield, Julianne Swartz, Alison Elizabeth Taylor, Jim Torok, and Martin Wilner. The curator of this exhibition, artist Marco Breuer, has exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe. Last month he received the inaugural Larry Sultan Photography Award. Breuer's work is in numerous public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; and the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, Germany.
