Art Is Truth Is Art is ...?: 'Paradox Now!'

THIS WEEK: We'll never be able to balance, as a species, the art that illuminates life's truth and the art that obscures it. "Paradox Now!," an exhibit at Arlington Arts Center, attempts to at least ask questions about this central dilemma using high-concept performance- and video-based art.

It doesn't answer those questions, of course, but that was probably too much to ask from one art show anyway.
