Alexis Rockman: A Fable For Tomorrow @ American Art Museum


Big thanks to John Murder for telling me about this exhibit, which is filled with post-apocalyptic tableaus that include the drowned Brooklyn Bridge, pigs raping geese, and wild pigs making sweet love to nutria in Disneyworld. This one, pictured above, Manifest Destiny, is 24 feet long and 8 feet high.


I can't remember an art exhibit I've enjoyed more in the last ten years. Big thanks to Alexis Rockman for creating it. Big thanks to the Smithsonian for being in Washington, DC, and for being Free. The exhibition will be up through May 8. You should go. You should see these in person. If you want more info/slides/lectures/whatever, there's plenty more info here.
