In the Gallery Upstairs: Decoys & Mimics
2022-07-15 - 2022-09-22 | The Gallery Upstairs at The Institute Library, 847 Chapel Street, New Haven, CT, 06510, United States
July 16-September 22, 2022
Decoys & Mimics is a group exhibition designed to fake you out this summer with books, objects, and images. This open-call exhibition mixes books in our collection with decoys, mimics, faux, imitations, ersatz, parodies, fakes, forgeries, deceptions, and—more positively—works addressing transformation, morphing, passing, changing, and becoming. It’s a beguiling blend of fantasy, humor, and mordant wit addressing the now, the was, and the never-was…..
Summer reading has never been so tricky.
