On view through Sunday, August 16th
The opening reception has been cancelled, but the exhibition is still open.
Celebrate the opening of The World to Come: Art in the Age of the Anthropocene, an exhibition featuring 40 international contemporary artists who examine human impact on the environment with resistance, imagination, and curiosity about the world to come. Join artists and fellow art and science lovers at this after hours event, offering a first look at the exhibition with music and refreshments.
The World to Come awakens us to the physical and social effects of the Anthropocene, a much-debated term used to define a new geological epoch shaped by human activity. The exhibition presents photography, video, and sculpture that address subjects and themes related to raw materials, extinction, consumption, justice, and imaginary futures.
