Faith in Exposure shows artists, activists and visual researchers engaged in different ways with the language and power of ‘news media’. It is a project in which artists ‘talk back’ to the news media. Last month the Govcom.org team have been busy preparing their contribution.

This exhibition and seminar addresses the central narrative of western democracy our ‘faith in exposure’, the unquestioning belief that the circulation of knowledge through news media (and other means) constrains the powerful and guarantees democracy. In a world where we may know but are still compelled to obey, Faith in Exposure is a platform for artists and researchers to ask whether it is still tenable believe the central myth of the information age; that knowing the truth shall make us free.
