The end of the world has been a human preoccupation for countless millennia. The exhibition States of Collapse features artists who explore the unimaginable complexity of a cataclysmic crisis. Originally developed in 2019, this exhibition did not foresee the pandemic of 2020 and beyond, but coincidently echoes lived experiences endured by the global community. Dunlop Art Gallery (Sherwood Village Branch) presents a selection of these artists’ work, including detailed sculptures of end of the world scenarios as well as depictions of hopeful recovery. The work in States of Collapse ultimately reflects on our response to a radical change to the world as we know it and challenges us to collectively consider our impact on global well-being.
