In this bewildering new world of Photoshop, CGI and plastic surgery, how do we know what’s real anymore?

F for Fake is interested in the idea of mischief as both an act of play and as a political gesture. Taking Orson Wells’ infamous film as its title and starting point, the exhibition looks at tricks, counterfeits, confusion, pranks, re-enactment and repeats. F for Fake backtracks, does a double-up, and asks-what might we learn from repetition?

All exhibitions are currently offsite due to disruptions caused by the Pakuranga Eastern Busway construction. The building remains open for classes and other activities. 21 William Roberts Road, Pakuranga, is the best address to enter into navigation apps to guide you to the free parking at our door.
