IN CASE WE DON'T DIE
FRIDAY, MAY 3 - THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2013
11 AM - 5 PM
TORRANCE ART MUSEUM |
These days potential catastrophes are everywhere you look. You can't go outside or turn on the TV without reports of the world coming to an 'End' - global climate collapsing or terrorists planning new attacks. The world is so full of danger, threats, stress, overload and insecurity.

This pressure coming from a hyper tense society of doom is having a massive impact on the art being produced by the artists who manage to keep up their practice and it is forcing others to remain passive or paralyzed while waiting for a change of current that may never come. Come to the Torrance Art Museum for this new exhibit, for more information, Read More... |
