THEME

“Reality Suspended: Art in the Era of Post-truth”

Post-truth, the latest concept of the postmodern world, means that emotions and personal beliefs are more effective than objective phenomena in forming public opinion. In the post-truth era, with the exclusion of objective data, an irrational universe that is compatible with beliefs and prejudices is produced, rather than producing judgments consistent with reality. It completely swallows the real world in this new "truth" construction, in which it does not refer to anything other than itself, without even deigning to imitate the reality by completely disconnecting the fake from reality. Intellectual mental activities are replaced by irrational and emotional provocative practices. All over the world, the resentful, harsh and anti-elitist masses, who feel themselves subjected to the injustices of modernism, unite in an organic way with the opinion leaders who aim to glorify, praise, protect and protect themselves for the first time, rebelling against the rational attitude of modernism based on the objective reality, constructing a proper perception of truth. One of the biggest transformations in history is a giant break in which five hundred years of parenthesis is closed is occured in art aside from the fields of economy, politics and culture. This year, the Istanbul Art Show draws attention to how the post-truth era will transform art, and discusses the role of art and the artist in a world where truth is suspended.
