In this year’s response to SPRING/BREAK’s theme FACT AND FICTION, InLiquid is excited to present Lost in the Funhouse: a vibrant, eclectic and collaborative installation with work by 5 women using a combination of unexpected materials and imagery not typically described as “feminine”. The work resists such definitive language, where singular categorization would be neither fact or fiction. Materials range from plastic army figurines and syringes to recycled beer cans, graffiti art and trophies. Connections of symbolism will be found from one work to another: Aluminum beer cans and syringes symbolic of addiction, dependency on vices, a common need for escape from reality and awards meant to symbolize strength, conquest and defeat. Each artist contemplates their environment and produces work that reflects their observations; inconsistencies, discrepancies and anxieties of false or impartial truths told and believed.
