The Great Enemy of Truth by Elizabeth Alexander with sound by Todd Bowser

Turchin Center for the Visual Arts
The Great Enemy of Truth is a site-specific installation by Elizabeth Alexander with an integral sound component by Todd Bowser. The artists will transform the Main Gallery through intricate paper installations, suspended sculpture, found objects, costumes, dinner plates and sound for an immersive experience that the artist says: "seems double-edged, a dreamlike scenario that is both familiar and foreign--inspiring frequent shifts in mood."
