UW Art Museum Ann Simpson Artmobile Exhibition,
"Message Received: Transmissions Across Time & Space” Exhibit
Description
The University of Wyoming Art Museum Ann Simpson Artmobile will debut its new exhibition “Message Received: Transmissions Across Time & Space” at the Rock Springs Community Arts Center, September 10-12, 2024. The exhibition, available for scheduling 2024-2026 invites viewers to think deeply about our present relationship to the past and future. Seventeen works of art, including etchings, lithographs, photographs, mezzotints, woodblock prints, and serigraphs, reveal diverse perspectives on space, technology, mythology, and time travel—where the past, present, and future collide.
This exhibition encourages discussions of communication, cosmology, identity, and place through a futurist lens. How does ancestral knowledge inform who we are and where we are headed, and what stories may future generations need to thrive? How has life in the future been imagined? What technologies may be necessary and what will stand the test of time?
Guided, deep looking sessions and art making activities will be offered by Artmobile Educator, Sarita Talusani Keller, at each location the Artmobile visits through 2026.
“I am thrilled to share this exhibition with Rock Springs and Wyomingites across the state. I hope it sparks people’s imaginations about Wyoming life--light years into the future, and leads to important conversations about what people value and what they hope for in the near future.”
The exhibition and art making activities are free and open to the public.
The Ann Simpson Artmobile program is a free core outreach program from the University of Wyoming Art Museum, traveling museum-quality original artwork statewide for the past 43 years. On average, the Artmobile travels two weeks out of every month to Wyoming communities that have little or no access to art museums. The Artmobile reaches out to people of all ages, backgrounds and developmental abilities with special focus given to Wyoming’s K-12 schools, and underserved populations including seniors, veterans and individuals with special needs.
