It's Not A Lie If You Believe It is a solo exhibit by CFEVA Visual Arts Fellow Yikui (Coy) Gu. This exhibit explores the relationship between several bodies of work completed by Gu in recent years. The works are informed by Gu's identity, as well as varied interests in our relationship to technology and their prevalence in our lives, internet culture, the planned obsolescence of our devices, and what it means to be a painter in the age of the moving image. By turning the Felicity R. “Bebe” Benoliel Gallery into an inhabited space, reconnecting it to its previous use as an apartment, the exhibit blurs the line between art objects versus the everyday, recontextualizing their meaning and significance.
