The current Artmobile exhibition “Message Received: Transmissions Across Time & Space” invites viewers to think deeply about our present relationship to the past and future. Seventeen works of art, including etchings, lithographs, photographs, mezzotints, woodblock prints, and serigraphs, reveal diverse perspectives on space, technology, mythology, and time travel—where the past, present, and future collide.

This exhibition encourages discussions of communication, cosmology, identity, and place through a futurist lens. How does ancestral knowledge inform who we are and where we are headed, and what stories may future generations need to thrive? How has life in the future been imagined? What technologies may be necessary and what will stand the test of time?

Lesson menu available soon.
