October 18 – November 14
12-5pm (Closed on Mondays)
An exhibition featuring artworks from Vinzenz Aubry (SMACT ‘25), Frank Cong (SMACT ‘25), Haozhen Feng (SMACT ‘25), and Brian Hudson Huang (SMACT ‘25)
The works on view attempt to contend with a world that no longer makes sense through the act of sense-making. We are in the midst of the apocalypse paradigm, in which world leaders, scientists, and internet trolls are unable to reach a consensus of which apocalypse we are actually experiencing. Perhaps it may all end in a deluge from the depths of rising sea levels, a brilliant flash of light from a solar flare, or, most likely, a technocratically directed mutually assured destruction.
Whichever the means, our anthropocentric scale of sensing cannot possibly comprehend the end. Instead, we now proclaim that we are leaving the Anthropocene, approaching the tail end of human activity’s influence at the planetary level, and are entering the Apocalypscene, in which the scale of planetary activity is beyond that of human timescales and horizons.
Join us for the opening reception on Friday, October 18th, 6PM-9PM. Refreshments will be served.
Join us on Tuesday, November 12th, 6:30 PM at the ACT Student Gallery, E15-095, 20 Ames Street. Food and drinks will be served.
