#followme is a group show composed of one-dozen-plus artists, among them, Scott Benzel, Steve Hash, Paul Verdell and Robert Lazzarini. The exhibition, curated by Michael Slenske, an arts writer and editor who opened Desert Center earlier this year, centers on themes of truth and deceit in an age when social media has turned the concept of following and gaining followers into a daily ritual.
