BETH LIPMAN in: Vanishing Ecologies: Speculative Futures

This exhibition explores artistic responses to the Anthropocene—the era in which human activity has reshaped the planet—and imagines what might follow it. Through painting, sculpture, installation, and time-based media, artists confront climate change, mass extinction, and the lingering shadow of the post-atomic age, while probing the accelerating entanglement of technology and time. Some works trace the fragile thresholds between collapse and adaptation; others speculate on post-human futures, ecological resilience, and planetary memory. Together, these visions ask how we narrate an ending that is also a beginning, inviting viewers to consider their place within deep time and the uncertain worlds still unfolding.
