Hyde Park Art Center's winter exhibition lets you rearrange the past to reimagine the future
Chicago (November 2012) — Fearsome Fable – Tolerable Truth
, a new work by Tom Torluemke, surrounds the viewer in either a grim or an uplifting landscape of the future in this unsettling exhibition on view from January 20 until April 28, 2013 in Gallery 4 at the Hyde Park Art Center. Through this man-made, apocalyptic installation, the artist proposes what life would look like following the current trajectory of destructive environmental, political, and social policies and
behaviors. On an uplifting note, the artist also includes a utopian alternative installation to be revealed at certain times, allowing the public to reverse what has been done and envision a more responsible path for the future.
