Emily Geen // Generation
Date:
Fri, Mar 28th, 2025 to Fri, May 9th, 2025Time:
11:00 am
Description:
This exhibition explores possible understandings of the word “generation.” Loosely referencing a living room, the exhibition space invites viewers to take a seat on an inflatable plastic couch of millennial childhood dreams and flip through the pages of album, an artist book project featuring found family snapshots interpreted by a naively poetic AI, as well as iridescent cellophane.
Emily’s work critically engages with nostalgia—a sentiment often exploited for political gain. However, nostalgia isn’t simply a longing for the past. Rather, it can be understood as a yearning for home. Emily believes in its ability to speak to our surreal experiences of time. Through visual culture especially, nostalgia gives us a space to grieve a time and a place we didn’t realize we would miss. Or, it reminds us of how much we, and our world, have changed.
