No Lie Can Live Forever
Sam Durant's *No Lie Can Live Forever* presents a bold, text-based work that confronts viewers with a declaration rooted in the rhetoric of civil rights and social justice movements. The phrase, drawn from a quote attributed to Martin Luther King Jr. and echoing the words of abolitionist Theodore Parker, transforms language itself into a form of resistance and moral conviction. Durant's piece challenges viewers to reckon with the enduring tension between systemic deception and the persistent human struggle toward truth.
