A Fountain for a Dark Future at Locust Projects

August 16, 2021

I’m very pleased to announce A Fountain for a Dark Future, opening September 9th at Locust Projects in Miami. A Fountain for a Dark Future is a new, installation-based work for the Project Room. The piece integrates robotic elements, a re-created Modernist sculpture, and a series of water pumps to create a large-scale, improvised fountain. Through these combined forms, the work alludes to disruptive events on the human horizon, hinting at concerns such as sea level rise, automation, and the rise of authoritarianism.
