Adam Mysock
A Tentative Probe

2018

About the Item

From Rembrandt van Rijn’s Militia Company of District II under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq (The Night Watch), 1642 The search for limits is an ongoing endeavor. Circumstances change. Environments shift. What was tolerable one day is offensive the next. As is the opposite. We’re always looking for the fine line that separates safe lying from detrimental misdirection. Lies essentially stand as markers of a zeitgeist. As times change, so does the nature of our fiction. Lying evolves as a practice. It has a lineage and a life.
