CSUCI Exhibitions gallery in Camarillo announced its next show titled "Simulated Realities" will focus on the work of CSUCI art faculty member Christophe Bourély. Artwork exhibited will include an installation, a series of paintings, and a series of prints. The show will begin Feb. 7 and continue through Feb. 29. A reception for the artist will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 13, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the gallery. The reception is open to the public.

CSUCI Exhibitions is located at 92 Palm Drive in "Old Town" Camarillo, Calif., 93010. Regular gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

"Simulated Realities" explores the postmodern concept of hyper reality. The hyper-real is concerned with the idea of the subjugation of the real by the fictitious. Where authenticity, or the original artifact, is displaced by an ever-increasing reproduction, and most importantly, when the reproduction becomes realer than the real. Examples of the hyper-real abound in modern life, so much so, that as a culture people have become less aware of this simulated reality.
