Opening Reception: Friday, November 22, 6-8pm
NARS Project Space
Aqueous Amalgams explores the tension between nature’s indomitability and human intervention. Exploring themes of captivity, artificial intelligence, and climate change, the exhibition examines humanity's impact on the wild. Populated by underwater denizens, visitors confront a world where nature is confined, reshaped, and accessed through human mediation.
NARS Foundation Galleries are open to the public from 12pm - 5pm, Monday - Friday. Please contact info@narsfoundation.org with any other inquires.
