Stealth
12 September 2024 – 1 February 2025
The living exhibition Stealth will unfold at Verdurin in the autumn and winter, inviting an expanding roster of artists to promote conspiracies or debunk conspiracy theories. The exhibition’s artist roster will expand continually until the project’s end. This page will be updated as the exhibition evolves.
Artworks will engage in a conspiracy of their own, challenging the relationship between aesthetic stimuli and notions of reality. If conspiracy theories emerge when the official narrative fails, what role does art play in fuelling or suppressing alternative constructions? Is contemporary art itself part of the narrative failure?
Stealth is part of a season of events examining the aesthetic dimension of conspiracy and conspiracy theories. The cycle responds to the increasingly seductive power of conspiratorial ideas over the populace at a time of a crisis of meaning.

In the Store
Conspiracy/Theory by Joseph Masco, Lisa Wedeen (eds)
In an era of intensified information warfare, ranging from global disinformation campaigns to individual attention hacks, what are the compelling terms for political judgment? How are we to build the knowledge needed to recognise and address important forms of harm when critical information is either not to be trusted or kept hidden?
