The exhibit "Reality Show," now at Texas Woman's University, explores the "reality" presented by television's favorite format. The artists are Jill Pangallo, Cecelia Phillips, Anna Krachey, Jaime Wentz and Laura Turner.

The artists' work uses the ubiquitous reality television format as material, though the show's brochure explains that reality television "is far from their main concern."

To build their vision, the show's five artists did extensive research, watching years of reality television.

Jill Pangalo's video can be seen at this year's '2x2 for aids and art' event. Click here for more info and to see the superb catalogue of artists. For more information, images, and available work by Anna Krachey and Jill Pangalo, please contact Marty Walker Gallery.
