Apocalypse: Seven Histories into Futures
November 7 – 29
Monday – Friday 12.30 – 6.30pm;
Saturday/Sunday 10 – 4pm
End of the world scenarios are usually packed with highly emotive figurations but in this installation the interpretation of the Apocalypse hovers around a densely minimal and jubilant transparency. Barberis works with current debates surrounding early catacomb art and uses her investigations to throw a particular light on the global issues we are facing today: that of sustaining a world teetering on the brink of environmental chaos and disaster, broken economic and trade systems and a confluence of revealed differences.
