Global financial intrigues stretching from Little Rock to the Vatican bank, government sponsored spying, corrupt political lobbies, secret societies and, of course, preemptive war. The news headlines that have intrigued and horrified us of late have become, not surprisingly, inspiration for many contemporary artists worldwide. Whether exposing the complexity or folly of conspiracy theory, or analyzing money trails and their surprising beneficiaries, all of the artists in this exhibition are essentially questioning control. Who controls whom? Who controls what? Where does it leave the rest of us?

Despite the heavily-politicized subject matter, the exhibition will present an objective point of view on the power of control as a construct within our society.

Under Control will feature approximately 30 works in a variety of media by artists from surprisingly vast geographic locations, all created within the past 10 years.
