Curated by Jacquelyn Strycker, “Anything Could Happen at Anytime,” includes works by Leora Armstrong, Nicholas Bertozzi, Curtis Grynkewicz, Ezra Hubbard, Giulia Mangoni, Nicole Finley, Jason Mena, Maya Resheff and Isa Wang. The artists in this exhibition created works that imagined and responded to the unpredictable– illness, natural disaster, economic collapse and crises. They at once contemplated both the beauty and the inauspiciousness of the zen notion that control over our own fates is an illusion.
