High Museum of Art:
Ryoji Ikeda's art challenges how we understand the universe and our place in it through sound, light, materials, and scientific data composed into stimulating experiences of the unknown and the infinite. Ikeda’s immersive video projections feature visualizations of data extracted from mathematical theories and the study of quantum physics, among other categories of study and territories of knowledge.
This is the artist’s first museum exhibition in the United States and includes seven chapters that present an encounter between the limits of human comprehension and Ikeda’s audiovisual representations of limitlessness—the vastness of the universe.
Together, the works in the exhibition offer a multisensory journey that refreshes and renews how we perceive and understand the universe and our relationship to it, a central theme of Ikeda’s work, which he prefers to be experienced rather than analyzed.
Morris Museum of Art:
Jonathan Green: The Aesthetics of Heritage
Explore the bright, vibrant works of artist Jonathan Green, who was born and raised in the South Carolina Lowcountry. The exhibition includes numerous paintings by Green, as well as four newly acquired silkscreen prints.
