Press Fast Forward

Opens April 24 • Curated by: William Bentley

Join us for the highly anticipated exhibit Press Fast Forward.

Meet the artists and view spectacular artwork on display! Curated by William Bentley, Press Fast Forward explores the artists' imagination and recollection of their past alongside their vision of the future in an age of technological acceleration. Through framed, two-dimensional works, the exhibit reflects on how technology moves at lightning speed, shifting from analog to digital, from dream to reality, inviting artist to consider it's profound impact on communication, creativity and culture.

This exhibit reveals a wide spectrum of responses: joyful, haunting, insightful and thought-provoking. Through painting, photography, textiles, and mixed media, the exhibition demonstrates how rapidly changing technologies influence artistic expression, identity and imagination.
