The Landscape Ahead: A Conversation

On the occasion of Earth Day weekend, LA Weekly arts editor Shana Nys Dambrot will moderate “The Landscape Ahead”, a discussion with artists featured in “Mapping the Sublime: Reframing Landscape in the 21st Century”.

The 6 panelists have made commitments in their art practices to engage with topics like climate change, the exploitative effects of consumer culture and colonialism on the Earth’s delicate ecosystem, and more broadly philosophical notions of the Sublime and the Anthropocene.

Participating Artists: Guillermo Galindo, Lawrence Gipe, Liz Miller Kovacs, Constance Mallinson, Deborah Oropallo and Andy Rappaport

Come for this lively conversation, and stick around to help us celebrate the exhibition at the opening reception from 5-8pm!
