SUMMARY:The Way Things Are: A Solo Exhibition By Dylan A. Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: May 15\, 2026 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. \n\n\n\nJoin us Friday\, May 15 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for the solo exhibition\, “The Way Things Are” by Dylan A. Taylor! \n\n\n\nArtist Statement:  \n\n\n\nMy art employs narrative storytelling to investigate the construction of social reality — primarily through short-form filmmaking and tableau photography. I observe how cultural and cinematic codes are arbitrarily naturalized to perpetuate a particular status quo characterized by artificiality\, absurdity\, and mundanity. Additionally\, I explore how this contemporary discontent manifests itself as a motivation to reproduce and control the world through visual media. As representations increasingly pervade and supersede the ‘real world’\, my work argues that the reality we collectively inhabit is as fabricated and narratively controlled as film itself. \n\n\n\nIn collaboration with film production crews\, my practice applies the visual language and logistical operations of traditional cinema. Through this methodology\, apparatus and fictionality are foregrounded — supporting an interrogative intersection between artifice and actual. Additionally\, through the engagement of antimimetic narrative\, I survey the properties of temporality\, continuity\, and metafiction in visual storytelling; this ultimately contributes to the evolving dialogue on how cinematic language can be reinterpreted across contemporary film\, photography\, and visual art.
