The exhibition F is for Fake: Art, Cinema and Forgery examines notions of fake and real in art, cinema and popular culture. Taking as its point of departure Orson Welles’s 1976 cinematic essay F for Fake, the exhibition presents artworks that disrupt established beliefs around originality, legitimacy and authenticity, alongside forgeries, ephemera and historical documents. The exhibition brings together artists and filmmakers who use appropriation, hoaxes, copyright infringement or outright forgery as a means to express themselves, investigating the line between truth and fiction and calling attention to an art market that Robert Hughes once wrote that, apart from the drug trade, “is the biggest unregulated market in the world.”
