The phrase "pics or it didnt happen" began in web forums as a response to an outlandish or dubious claim like, Duuuude. Last night I met Miley Cyrus and she twerked on me. Response: Pics or it didnt happen. Such an exchange is a reminder that our culture equates photos with proof a flawed proposition.

This is an exhibition of art documentation photosthe digital traces that remain after an exhibition, the self-made archivepresented in place of art itself. But in Pics or it didnt happen, the art documented does not exist. Various artists explore this conundrum and its ramifications, both in and outside of this exhibition, and the art world.
