In counterpoint to themes of the quotidian, So Far, So Good presents extreme or absured moments in flux. Each work in this group video exhibition operates as a fragment, illustrating a moment not yet resolved. The works reflect back suggestively on narrative and content without giving us the whole picture. The exhibition is playfully dadaist, but set within a contemporary context.
