Please join us for an artist talk & closing reception with Lauren Murao Walkiewicz in conversation with Terra Keck on December 6, at 6pm in the NARS Project Space.
Lauren Murao Walkiewicz will discuss his exhibition Aqueous Amalgams in conversation with Terra Keck.
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.
