David Maisel and Meghann Riepenhoff
Museum Exhibition

Into the Time Horizon occupies every inch of the Nevada Art Museum inviting visitors to consider how to move forward on our planet—ethically, responsibly, and with care for coming generations. The exhibition encompasses seven thematic sections, while also including several large-scale installations that interweave the project’s primary concerns. Including nearly 200 artists, Into the Time Horizon sheds insight into the wide range of output, across all mediums, of makers who are integrating environmentalism into their innovative creative approaches.

 

David Maisel's Proving Ground South Ballistics Grid 04 (2014) and Meghann Riepenhoff's Untitled (Adaptive Radiation Radioactive Palm Triptych) (2023) will be included in the Altered Lands and the Anthropocene thematic section on view from March to September. 

 

The concept of the Anthropocene relates to the indelible, colossal imprint Homo sapiens have made on the planet. It suggests we have left the Holocene and entered a new geological epoch. What increasingly matters is that human impact on the Earth has become so wildly out of control that it has tipped the planet’s balance past the point of its own ability to heal and regenerate, causing a sixth mass extinction. The works on view loosely divide along subthemes, which all relate to and demonstrate the behavior of this new human epoch and how it manifests in relation to the environment.
