Bourely: " Simuated Realities"
February 7-29, 2008.
Reception for the Artist: Wednesday, February
13, 6-8PM
“Simulated Realities” focuses on the work of CSUCI
art faculty member Christophe Bourély. Artwork exhibited will
include an installation, a series of paintings and a series of prints. “Simulated
Realities” explores the postmodern concept of hyper reality. The
hyper-real is concerned with the idea of the subjugation of the real
by the fictious. Where authenticity, or the original artifact is displaced
by an ever-increasing reproduction, and most importantly, when the reproduction
becomes realer than the real. Examples of the hyper-real abound in modern
life, so much so, that we as a culture become less aware of this simulated
reality.
