Overview
Evidentiary Realism features artists engaged in investigative, forensic, and documentary art. It aims to articulate a particular form of realism in art that portrays and reveals evidence from complex social systems, with prioritizing formal aspects of visual language and mediums. These artists theoretically articulate the aesthetic, social, and documentary functions of their mediums in relation to the subject matter they investigate. The creation of evidentiary artworks is the realism of today's world, which is trying to control, predict, and quantify itself. Evidentiary realists examine such complexity to condemn, document, and inform through compelling artworks, giving form to a particular documentary and investigative art practice.
