Open House | Alexis Rockman: Shipwrecks
Alexis Rockman ranks among the most accomplished eco-artists working today. In his dramatic new series of paintings, Rockman reimagines historic shipwreck narratives, such as the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, urging viewers to consider the broad planetary forces shaping these historic events. His vivid, large canvases explore the impact that the migration of goods, people, plants, and animals has had and continues to have on our planet.
Join the artist, exhibition curator Karl Kusserow, and Museum Director James Steward for the exhibition’s opening.
_Alexis Rockman: Shipwrecks _is organized by Guild Hall of East Hampton, New York, and presented by the Princeton University Art Museum.
