Please join us for “The Making of Evolution”, a lecture by Alexis Rockman. Evolution (1992) is the first epic 8x24 foot panoramic painting of Rockman’s career, and an integral part of the current Museum of Glass exhibition Field Notes: Artists Observe Nature. The monumental work greets visitors at the entrance of the exhibition, which offers a glimpse into the changing view of nature over the last century. Evolution confronts us with astonishing power, depicting a dystopian scene that causes us to ask: What has happened to the world? What has happened to all the species? Where are the humans? This lecture will discuss the conception, execution, and history of this magnum opus — an encyclopedic spectacle encompassing many of Rockman’s obsessions with the collection of his childhood haunt, The American Museum of Natural History. Evolution was showcased at the Carnegie Museum and the Venice Biennale and paved the way for many other epic history paintings about the history of humans tricky relationship to the planet, extinction, the bio diversity crisis, and climate change. Reception with wine and light bites to follow. This is event is $10 for the general public and free for students. Please RSVP below.

小思文

The Glass Museum is a very large-scale building. The museum itself is very distinctive. The structure of the glass is quite representative. Many creative shapes also look quite interesting. It is a good place for taking pictures. I like it very much.
