Go to most U.S. art museums, and what do you pay? Around $16, maybe $12 if you’re a student. KC art museums are free (give or take an exhibit), and these new shows are priceless. Even if it’s HD, you can’t trust a camera. The Kemper’s (Un)Natural Histories reminds the viewer that photos distort reality (or vice versa). Featuring works by local as well as globally recognized artists, the seductive exhibit shows that when human fantasy punctures reality, it lets in a flood of awesome ambiguity. See kemperart.org.

(Un)Natural Histories 

When: Sept. 13-March 5 2012
Go to most U.S. art museums, and what do you pay? Around $16, maybe $12 if you're a student. KC art museums are free (give or take an exhibit), and this new show at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art (4420 Warwick Boulevard, 816-753-5784) is priceless. Even if it's HD, you can't trust a camera. The Kemper's (Un)Natural Histories reminds the viewer that photos distort reality (or vice versa). Featuring works by local as well as globally recognized artists, the seductive exhibit shows that when human fantasy punctures reality, it lets in a flood of awesome ambiguity. See kemperart.org.
