No News Is Good News
Fiona Katauskas
Hello visitor, welcome to end of the exhibition (assuming you went around in a clockwise fashion). Behind the Lines zooms in on how cartoonists comment upon the news of the day. And a lot of that news is bleak and could drive one to donning a sandwich board announcing visions of the apocalypse. Is this final work piece a metaphor for the work of the cartoonist? Fiona Katauskas speculates that we’d all be happier if we embraced a little more news avoidance in our lives.
