AMERIKA: Back to the Future

Postmasters

These five artists envision a post-apocalyptic future where the America of stripmalls, Disneyland and post-industrial might has alternately persevered to global domination, or fallen into chaos. Anthony Goicolea’s sober photographs construct a landscape of derelict buildings silently echoing America’s demise. David Herbert’s sculptures, and Jennifer and Kevin McCoy’s video installations picture this future through pop culture narratives like Star Trek and Dawn of the Dead. Markus Kenney’s collages reimagine America’s origins on a trash-heaped retro sci-fi moonscape. Closes 6/21.

This review will appear in the June 4 issue of The L Magazine.
