In her first curatorial project, Martine Gutierrez brings together work by nineteen young artists working in a variety of mediums to explore the state and fate of humanity. A forward-looking exploration of the zeitgeist, ritual being reconsiders commonly held images of what the future looks like. Futurist daydreams of flying cars and glass cities are no more. Instead, the artists selected by Gutierrez envision a “post-modern, post-monogamous, post-gender, post-script, post-colonial, post-traumatic, post-depressive, post-apocalyptic” world that is far grittier and down to earth than the ones predicted by 1980s science fiction imaginings.

The show, which will include a sculpture and an accompanying presentation in RLWindow by Gutierrez, will play with the politics of identity and the uncertain fate of our planet. The exhibition will include work by both established and emerging artists, including Sebastian Silva, Mexican Jihad, Andy K-B, Sam Sae Jin Chun, Christopher Udemezue, Heesoo Kwon, Martine Gutierrez, Manal Kara, Charlie Mai, Pedro Emanuel, Emma Safir, Stewart Uoo, and Avion Pearce, Wang Shui, among others. Reflecting on climate change, gender, race, identity, sexuality, technology, faith, and conflict, the show will ask visitors to question everything about our current moment.
