The Truth Is Out There
In 2021鈥攊n the middle of a global pandemic鈥攖he US Congress ordered the Pentagon to release a report about their official knowledge of UFOs. Although the report was largely unsatisfying and offered no real extra-terrestrial explanations, it confirmed that the US military had documented instances of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAPs) which could not be fully explained. If the truth is indeed out there, perhaps it isn鈥檛 where we thought it was.
The Truth Is Out There looks at contemporary artists鈥� fascination with UFOs, alien abductions and other unexplained phenomena, during a time when belief in extra-terrestrial life is more accepted in the mainstream than ever before. With a touch of nostalgia for The X Files sensation of the 1990s, this exhibition grapples with larger questions of conspiracy theories, paranoia and misinformation. We want to believe鈥ut how do we decide what to believe, let alone who to believe?
