Future Fossils
Living now, in the Anthropocene, the 20 international artists whose works comprise this exhibition make
resonant objects that appear as if glimpsed in a rearview mirror, from some time in an unknown future.
They create a physical presence of what will be a disappeared past, conduits for assessment, and
critique of current culture in the form of fossils. Like Paleolithic relics, they are largely cast—in glass,
metal, plaster, and resins. The multimedia three-dimensional works in the exhibition can be organized into two loose divisions: corporal effigies that explore our bodily presence, and cultural fossils which reflect our technological present
