S I M U L A C R A




New Wilmington Art Association presents:

S I M U L A C R A.

SIMULACRA is a four person exhibition designed to explore the paradoxical notions of layers of realities composed with an image using photography. The mediums themselves lead to a problematic paradox of illusion, reality, and how we comprehend them in a contemporary society where the image, video, and Internet rule the way we are fed information.

Exhibition Artists:
Seung Jae Kim
Jennifer Jones-O'Neil
Lynn Palewicz
Marisa Rebecca

December 3-18, 2010

OPENING RECEPTION: DECEMBER 3RD, 6-9 PM
