Edward M. Epstein Archive: Apocalyptic Landscapes and Cultural Authenticity at Locks Gallery
The Edward M. Epstein archive at artcritical presents a series of exhibitions and videos exploring apocalyptic futures, cultural authenticity, and material experimentation. Featured artists include Marina Abramovic, Ragnar Kjartansson, Tommy Hartung, and Ursula von Rydingsvard. A duo's retrospective combines humor and hermeneutics. Two new videos examine cultural authenticity by simulating a holy site and questioning national identity. An American painter's career survey is also on view. The exhibitions run through various dates, with one at Locks Gallery, Philadelphia, through January 30, and another continuing through June 21.
