Soft Opening Reception | Future Tense: Art, Complexity, and Uncertainty

Please join us for the soft opening reception of our fall 2024 program, Future Tense: Art, Complexity, and Uncertainty. The event is scheduled this Saturday, August 24, from 2-5pm, with an artist program at 4pm.

Future Tense: Art, Complexity, and Uncertainty, produced in partnership with Getty PST ART: Art & Science Collide, invites visitors to experience how complex systems adapt over time to evolving conditions. From climate change to financial collapse, data surveillance to immigration politics, weather patterns to cultural histories, the exhibition offers artistic frameworks for studying a world where phenomena are too entwined to be observed individually. 

Featuring work by Ralf Baecker, Carolina Caycedo and David de Rozas, Newton Harrison and The Harrison Studio, Forrest and Lula Kirkland, Cesar & Lois, Chico MacMurtrie, Julie Mehretu, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Fernando Palma Rodríguez, Clare Rojas, Theresa Schubert, Laura Splan, Hege Tapio, Gail Wight, and Pinar Yoldas.
