DePauw University presents “Evidential Truths, A Solo Exhibition of Work by Kate Kretz” from Feb. 7 through May 13 at the Richard E. Peeler Art Center.

Evidential Truths confronts how the words ‘evidence’ and ‘truth’ have been appropriated to obfuscate our society’s understanding of the issues that threaten our democracy from gun control, public health and equal rights.

Working across media, Kretz “deftly creates poignant work that unpacks our society’s obsession with conformity, power and wealth.” The work included in “Evidential Truths” spans two decades of work by Kretz demonstrating her ability to combine concept with materials and process infusing the work with powerful intensity.

Online viewing options, lectures and exhibition materials are available for remote engagement. For an up-to-date listing of free events and lectures associated with the exhibition, visit: https://www.depauw.edu/arts-and-culture/arts/peeler/exhibits/
