TORRANCE ART MUSEUM PRESENTS

IN CASE WE DON'T DIE

ON VIEW NOW THROUGH 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. Assuming that we, against all odds, survive the terrifying pitfalls of the future, is creativity going to be the thing that saves us? 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...
