February 03 – 27, 2010


Through lenses of industrialization, environmentalism, consumerism, and scientific advancement, the artists in Fertilizing Utopias examine the ideals of Western culture with a playful and critical eye. Dark realities are placed in counterpoint to utopian goals as these artists inspect the possible futures our civilization is cultivating. The exhibit features new work from Ryan Pierce, Vaughn Bell, Rollin Beamish, Andrew Jacob Schell and Rimas K. Simaitis.
