SUPEREAL
Curated by Lauri Firstenberg
Superreal is a study, part of an ongoing investigation resulting in a series of exhibitions aimed at bringing together artists who paint in a hyperrealist style. This project questions the resurfacing of realism yet again, at a particular moment in contemporary art, and more specifically, contemporary painting. At present, this turn to traditional, familiar, and well-exploited territory translates as somehow temporally dislocated. In a time guided by technology and information overload, why turn to tradition in such a dramatic fashion?
