Walk-through of The Circle of Truth with curators Shane Guffogg and Laura Hipke
November 17, 2018, 2pm

The Circle of Truth is a wholly unique collaboration of 49 contemporary artists, each sequestered and unknown to one another, working in absolute secrecy. Taking a full nine years from launch to fruition, The Circle of Truth is a modern, visual take on a common childhood classroom exercise, wherein a secret message was whispered from student to student. It is often referred to as the Rumor Circle, or the Telephone Game.

What transpired over the course of the project—what truths were explored and discovered, how the artists were affected—broadened the scope of The Circle of Truth from an interesting exploration of sensitivity and creativity, into an unexpected examination of what truth means sociologically and spiritually.
