A timely exploration of artists whose work addresses the subject of
conspiracy and media manipulation in modern culture Shaped by
events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Vietnam
War, Watergate, the Iran-Contra affair, and 9/11, conspiracy
theories have flourished and influenced our collective worldview.
This provocative book examines how artists from the 1960s to the
present explore both the covert operations of power and the mutual
suspicion between governments and their citizens. Featured are
works by 30 contemporary artists-including Sarah Charlesworth, Hans
Haacke, Rachel Harrison, Jenny Holzer, Mike Kelley, Mark Lombardi,
Cady Noland, Trevor Paglen, Raymond Pettibon, Jim Shaw, and Sue
Williams-in media ranging from painting, drawing, and photography
to video and installation art. Whether they uncover webs of deceit
hidden in the public record or dive headlong into the paranoid
fever dreams of the disaffected, artists examine the rhetorical
strategies of conspiracy researchers and endeavor to expose evil in
high places. Everything Is Connected elucidates the many ways in
which artists use their work to take a powerful and proactive
stance against the political corruption, consumerism, bureaucracy,
and media manipulation that are hallmarks of contemporary life.
