Without a Trace: Artists Imagine a World Without Us
Alan Weisman’s book, The World Without Us, is an imaginative but well-researched exploration of just how nature would go about un-doing what civilization has wrought. At times frightening and sometimes encouraging, Weisman’s work served as the inspiration for this exhibition. Featuring significant works of contemporary art from local collections, this exhibition will provide an objective look at how the natural world could encroach on our manmade landscape and the human will to survive and leave a mark.
Guest curated by Ginger Gregg Duggan.
