Unbearable Beauty


Ruth C. Horton Gallery, Moss Arts Center
Virginia Tech
Blacksburg, VA


Expansive in theme and panoramic in scope, this exhibition presents works of art that are visually engaging, impactful, and even beautiful, while conveying the difficult reality that the consequences of human activity have imperiled the Earth. Featuring large-scale photographic works by three nationally and internationally recognized artists, a stunning film installation of one of the largest arctic glacier calving incidents to date, and an arresting soundscape of birds that no longer exist, the exhibition articulates in striking, aesthetic terms the damage inflicted on our ecosystems by human activity.
