Borrowing a recently coined neologism from Stephen Colbert's faux-conservative lexicon, Truthiness questions the reliability of the visual by featuring artists who transform photography (decidedly two-dimensional) into sculpture. Prints of architectural structures become three-dimensional versions of themselves. This intellectual and visual playfulness extends into Absurd Recreation, a multimedia group show next door at the Sweeney Art Gallery. This latter exhibition brings together contemporary Chinese artists who use game imagery to reinvigorate an identity, fractured long after the Cultural Revolution. The artists speculate that humor, rather than love, makes the world go 'round.
