Featuring Richie Culver, Future Ruins, curated by research studio BakersfieldTM, will run from June 08 — June 27 at California Institute of the Arts in tandem with the CalArts Summer Institute.
Future Ruins examines our amnesiac present across international borders, featuring works from artists whose approach to figuration is of the moment while harkening back to classic modes of craft and pictorial representation. The artists in this show embrace painting and ceramic materials, incorporating elements of pop culture, sacred iconography, meme-language, and neo-medieval motif, translated through technical irreverence and dry humour.
