EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS Future Memoria June 22, 2024 to August 25, 2024 In Future Memoria , selections from Gallery’s permanent collection, along with loaned artworks from artists addressing the future in their own practice, embody both dystopian and utopian ideals and the concept of futurity itself; they convey the role art plays in the future’s many imaginings. In popular culture, utopia and dystopia often manifest in the form of fantasy—worlds of vibrant beauty and abundance, or stagnation and decay. But at heart, these ideas beckon more deeply to the meaning of what it is to be a human embedded within a world of uncertainty. Artists rupture assumptions of the future, and in so doing, bring about the possibility of change.
