Science Fictional Thinking                                                                  
Cocurated with Alex A. Jones and Cameron Klavsen 

It is the year 2020. You are living in the future, and it is nothing like you imagined.  

This show asks how science fiction can be a tool for artists to anticipate meaningful notions of the future. Sci-fi is not simply a genre, but a vehicle for expressing collective dreams and fears about our ever-changing world. Nor are the aesthetics of sci-fi limited to the space age, for we do not seem destined for a future of technological salvation. The varied works in this exhibition are therefore grounded in trans-historical thinking. They are imaginative leaps, speculative propositions, compromises, and even fantasies. The curatorial premise of their grouping is this: 

Imagine a future world...what object sits beside you? If sci-fi is a tool for thought, what does that tool look like?
