The 44 Signs of the Times exhibition describes the strangeness of recent life. Rather than following a prescriptive or diagnostic approach, these 44 works of art – made before, during and after 2020 – map pervasive feelings of estrangement from reality as it once was. The exhibition’s artists present works that function as a “sign” of the times: peeling apart and pointing toward the ineffable weirdness of a world, suspended and upside down.

Artists: ASMA, Melissa Brown, Antoine Catala, Kanad Chakrabarti, Rafael Domenech, Nikita Gale, Alina Grasmann, Renée Green, Guo Hongwei, Nick Irzyk, Ann Veronica Janssens, Myeongsoo Kim, Mo Kong, Savannah Knoop, Jim Kuhlman, Julie Malen, Azikiwe Mohammed, Christine Egaña Navin, Trevor Paglen, Sarah Pettitt, Lee Relvas, Kristen Sanders, Mary Simpson, Cynthia Talmadge, Martha Tuttle, Robert Scott Whipkey, and Stella Zhong.
