Curators' Statement: The young artists in this show, most of them newly-graduated from art schools in Philadelphia are myth-makers, creating alternate universes and alternate personas. Some of them make work touched by the idea of faux. Unlike Matthew Barney and Matthew Ritchie, both of whom mythologize on a grandiose scale, these artists mythologize on an intimate personal scale. It doesn't mean their works are small or lacking in ambition. The works are metaphorical in ways that come out of the core of who they are and what they see around them.

Their art is questioning their relationship to their families and friends, to the past, to the city, to the camera even. These are not future-focused works, nor are they nostalgic particularly. Some of them may strike you as forlorn. But they're tough works and realistic. They're smacking upside the head the Leave It to Beaver cultural imperative.
