黑料不打烊

Multiverse focuses on the recognition, conscious or subconscious, and interpretation of the concept of the multiverse in contemporary visual art. Featuring digital art from Europe and the Americas, juxtaposed with analog works by artists from the northeastern United States, Multiverse鈥檚 curator D. Dominick Lombardi gives visitors the opportunity to see and discuss previously unimagined possibilities.

Curator鈥檚 statement: For this exhibition, I have selected a number of artists from a variety of countries and diverse cultural settings. Each artist presents their unique interpretation of the multiverse through digital data that is printed locally. These prints are juxtaposed with contributions from Northeastern U.S. artists offering analog works such as collage, painting, assemblage and sculpture. Visitors see throughout the exhibition striking imagery, some with familiar references, while other works are much harder to unscramble. This is fitting for such an exhibition as the concept of the multiverse, with the potential of as many as eleven dimensions predicted by theoretical physicists, is extremely difficult to grasp.

Physicists have been speculating that there are numerous, parallel universes for well over a century, beliefs that are gaining more and more recognition and acceptance outside the sciences through recent films like Everything Everywhere All At Once directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, or contemporary science fiction novels such as The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson. Still others, like myself, look with great interest to how the conscious or subconscious recognition or interpretation of the multiverse is leaving its mark on contemporary visual art.
