ARTslant reviews It’s All A Blur

The reviews are in! ARTslant contributer Kara Q. Smith highlights the significance of altered images and objects by artists Dale Hoyt, Tony Labat and Guillermo Gómez-Peña. Juxtaposing the simplicity of certain works, including cats and a bbq grill, to its deeper contemplation of social issues and undertones of disturbing reality, Smith gives readers a taste of the show’s multi-faceted narratives of America’s current culture.

Here is an excerpt from Kara’s review of It’s All A Blur, “Transcending Alterity.”

The artists in It’s All A Blur take on alterity in its varying forms, and weave a sometimes literal narrative in the fabric of our cultural unconscious. The works, all seemingly playful on the outset, actually embody complex issues that can be uncomfortable to ponder. It is in this liminal space of art production, the altering of objects and narratives, which I find is still the most effective way to create discourse around pertinent issues, that is, if that’s exactly what art is supposed to do.
