Fine softcover exhibition catalogue in new condition, with no marks or flaws. No sign of handling or wear. Clean and bright. From the publishing gallery's website, "What Could Happen If I Lie delves deep into Arrechea's investigation of surveillance and secrecy in the private and public realms. It also address personal and political control and the consequences of manipulated truths. Arrechea explains, "The artwork is based on the idea of destabilizing traditional concepts which we hold about icons and their function in society." Throughout the exhibition Arrechea explores the trajectory of a lie--its perception as truth, and the convoluted circumstances that ensue as a consequence. The title piece in the exhibition presents two hands with skin comprised of text resembling a crossword puzzle. The epidermis seduces the viewer to examine a conceptual web of reality and deception." Alexandre Arrechea was born in Trinidad, Cuba and graduated from the prestigious Superior Art Institute of Havana in 1994. From 1994 - 2003 Arrechea was a member of the Cuban collective Los Carpinteros. As a solo artist, Arrechea has exhibited widely in the US and abroad.
