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 in Glendale, opening September 21, 2024. Blended Worlds is presented as part of Getty’s regional art event PST ART: Art & Science Collide which explores the intersections of art and science — past, present and in the imaginable future. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, September 21 from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM, welcoming guests to view the exhibition for the first time.

Through a series of art and science collaborations, Blended Worlds: Experiments In Interplanetary Imagination 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 Worlds features 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.

The exhibition will be on view September 21, 2024 – January 4, 2025. For more information, visit: BrandLibrary.org/Gallery
