Freedom Baird’s installation Floreal provides a calm transition into the museum. Our eyes and minds adjust from the busy streets outside to the quiet galleries inside. Part distraction, part subversion, the artwork creates an escapist miniature topography on the surface of the welcome desk.

Future Fossils presents a possible future view of the present, a moment frozen in time and culture. The artworks—imagined relics—come from artists based in North America, Latin America, and Europe. While each artist explores different paths and issues, together their works suggest the remains of an apocalypse. Offering a snapshot of how we live today, Future Fossils reveals aspects of our lives left behind for later generations to decode.
