Cristina Velazquez's piece titled "Zigzag Catalog World"
Mad World: Messages to the Future, an exhibition featuring work by fourteen artists that imagine the future in 40 years through a fictional history of objects. In considering work for the exhibition, the artists were asked to ponder the statement, ‘If you’re interested in the future, invent it.” Responses range from both the artistic representation of objects 40 years from now, to witty and thoughtful statements about our cultural evolution. Through works such as future almanac entries, nomad friendly furniture and functional objects made from discarded material, the exhibition will display a unique imagining of what’s to come.
Artists presenting work: Jose Arenas, Carlos Castro, Emael, Chris Granillo, Hector Dio Mendoza, Johanna Poethig, Lady Reni, Joshua Short, Jose Antonio Suarez, Robert Trujillo, Christina Velazquez, Rio Yanez, and Marilyn Yu.
Opening Reception: May 08 at 7:30. Galería de la Raza is located at 2857 24th Street, San Francisco
