About the Item

A portrait of Kellyanne Conway While the statement for this show indicates that there are no formal teachers of proper lying technique, it doesn’t deny that there are individuals out there who are providing master classes on lying for those inquisitive enough to study their templates. Kellyanne Conway is one such informal educator. In weekly interviews, she offers lesson after lesson in diversion, denial, and outright fabrication. Ultimately, a mentor who doesn’t realize they’re mentoring fails to effectively communicate methodology. We can only do our best to imitate their example. And imitation of informal tutorials inevitably leads to some eccentric deviations, some personal styles. In a way lying is a hyper-personal form of communication. No one lies exactly like anyone else because we all lack a formal education system for it.
