Three centuries ago, King Louis XVI transformed Versailles into a symbol of opulence at the expense of the French population….That misprioritization led to the French Revolution which guillotined the monarchy and set the basis of bourgeois power. At the same time in England, the painter J.M.W. Turner captured the excitement and promising future of the Industrial Revolution in his visionary landscapes. 

Today, Our Future Era Landscapes are dominated by pollution and increasingly dramatic weather conditions. This exhibition contrasts today’s grim realities—smog-filled skies—with the grandiosity of past indulgence. It challenges us to rethink our vision of nature and confront the impact of our commodities. The artworks explore a future where our environmental crises are as vivid as Turner’s landscapes, urging us to reconsider and reshape our relationship with nature or lose our heads too. 

Sorry, was I too depressing? Oh, poor you… Here are some cute emojis. Happy Ending!
