Blended Worlds: Experiments In Interplanetary Imagination
September 21, 2024 – January 4, 2025

The City of Glendale’s Library, Arts & Culture Department, in collaboration with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), an operating division of Caltech and a Federally Funded Research and Development Center for NASA, is pleased to present a new exhibition titled Blended Worlds: Experiments In Interplanetary Imagination, at the Brand Library & Art Center. 

Through a series of art and science collaborations, Blended Worlds explores the landscape of human relationships with our ever-expanding environment. The exhibition includes artists collaborating with a team of JPL scientists and engineers to present a vision of the future that invites the viewer to consider the impact of greater connectedness with nature and its ability to foster a renewed sense of wonder and curiosity with our planet and the cosmos. Spanning a range of multimedia and cross-disciplinary works from 11 artists, Blended Worldsfeatures contributions from David Bowen, Darel Carey, Ekene Ijeoma, Annette Lee, Ada Limón, Bruce Mau, Viktoria Modesta, Shane Myrbeck, Moon Ribas, Raffi Joe Wartanian and Saskia Wilson-Brown.

Blended Worlds is among more than 70 exhibitions and programs presented as part of PST ART. Returning in September 2024 with its latest edition, PST ART: Art & Science Collide, this landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science, both past and present. PST ART is presented by Getty. For more information about PST ART: Art & Science Collide, please visit pst.art.

ReflectSpace

ReflectSpace

ReflectSpace Gallery is a vital cultural hub within the Glendale Central Library, established to confront and commemorate human atrocities, including the Armenian Genocide. It’s an immersive space that employs contemporary art, historical archives, and interactive technology to engage the community deeply.

The Essence of ReflectSpace:

ReflectSpace is a poignant reminder of our shared history and a call to action against ongoing human rights violations. As part of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, it connects past struggles to today’s human rights movements, emphasizing witness narratives and descendant communities’ ongoing impact.

In an era marked by division, ReflectSpace stands as a unifying force, inviting introspection and dialogue on global issues through a blend of art, technology, and archival resources. It’s not just a gallery; it’s a gateway to understanding and empathy, urging us to learn from the past to build a more just and humane future.
