“Prophets of Deceit” opens at Columbus College of Art & Design
Posted February 26, 2007 by John Menick
Prophets of Deceit, which opened at the CCA Wattis last fall, travels to Columbus College of Art & Design, in Columbus Ohio, and opens February 28. The group show, which was curated by Magali Arriola, includes my video The Secret Life of Things. From the press release:
“Looking into notions of mysticism, religion and the occult as guidelines that assess the development of history, Prophets of Deceit constitutes an essay on the pervading significance of messianic and apocalyptic cults both as systems of restraint of social behavior, and as seditious exercises that seek to subvert those very same structures that brought them into play,” says curator Magali Arriola.
The show includes: Craig Baldwin, Tacita Dean, Rod Dickinson, HCRH, Christian Jankowski, Joachim Koester, Komar & Melamid, Melvin Moti, Raymond Pettibon, Mungo Thomson, PHAUSS (Carl Michael von Hausswolff and Erik Pauser). A review from the San Francisco Chronicle is available here. The archived Artforum pick from San Francisco is here.
