Stranger than fiction

Tullie House Museum, Carlisle

A timely exhibition of photographs, video and film by many of Britain's leading contemporary artists. From Richard Billingham's photographs of his drunken father to Isaac Julien's elusive and enchanting fictional narratives, a potent and at times exotic world is revealed where truth is often more curious than fiction and fiction is made more powerful through fact.


comunicato stampa

We live in a time when reality TV and docu-drama dominate the television schedules. The relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown is imagined in TV's 'The Deal' and the 'real' lives of the Big Brother household are presented to us as entertainment. The boundaries between truth and fiction, reality and entertainment are no longer clear-cut. This development has been reflected in some of the most interesting art of recent times.

Stranger than Fiction is a timely exhibition of photographs, video and film by many of Britain's leading contemporary artists. From Richard Billingham's photographs of his drunken father to Isaac Julien's elusive and enchanting fictional narratives, a potent and at times exotic world is revealed where truth is often more curious than fiction and fiction is made more powerful through fact.
Artists represented in the exhibition include Gavin Turk, Tracey Emin, Sunil Gupta, Graham Gussin, Julian Opie, Keith Piper, Jane & Louise Wilson and Steve McQueen.

Stranger than Fiction is a National Touring Exhibition organised by the Hayward Gallery for Arts Council England.
