Your initial reaction is in direct conflict with reality.
All the works at CONFLICT tie into this them.
Jason Cohn’s black and white series’, all dealing with socio-economic difficulty, clearly have telling stories behind them, but because you don’t know the story, it makes the imagery all the more moving.

You can see more of Hondros’s work here.
I recommend that you save Larry Rippel’s installation No War Here for last. No War Here is a critique of the mainstream media’s lack of war imagery.
Rippel’s work is the most overtly political at the exhibition, and is given greater context after you’ve looked at the other pieces.

Nice write-up Brandon.
I had decided to take a pass on seeing this exhibit until your post. Keep up the good work.
