Informed by a synthetic look, Glee is a show in which works appear coated in a shiny patina charged with a startling artificiality. Simultaneously affected and sincere, superficial and deep, pop and rotten, the selected works share a blissful and seductive presence that can hide an incumbent sense of tragedy.
