Reality Check brings together sixteen of British art's rising stars, in an exhibition which presents the very latest developments in UKúbased photography and video installation. Each participating artist shares a belief in the camera's capacity to transform real experience - whether through re-enactment and visual replay, or through close observation and obsessive documentation - into the realm of the poetic. Reality Check is an exhibition inspired by real things in the real world - by events, people, relationships, places, things - while moving between differing levels of truth and imagination, perception and pretence. The overseas tour of Reality Check is organised by the British Council and includes the following venues: Moderna Galerija, Ljubljana, Slovenia, 29 August - 6 October 2002 House of Artists, Zagreb, Croatia, January - February 2003 Gallery Rudolfinum, Prague, Czech Republic, 6 March - 6 June 2003 Bunkier Gallery, Cracow, Poland, 25 June - 21st July 2003 Arsenals, Riga, Latvia, 20 October - 16 November 2003
