In our latest plaza activation, artist Nick Cave and designer Bob Faust question the precarious nature of truth in our society—from governments and institutions to communities and individuals—asking where truth does and does not reside. The site-specific installation Truth Be Told takes its title from the informal conversational phrase in order to spark questions about “alternative” facts, political delusion, and assaults on objectivity. Check out this large-scale public artwork on view through March 20, 2022 in conjunction with our special exhibition The Slipstream: Reflection, Resilience, and Resistance in the Art of Our Time.
