The Rockford Art Museum presents two exhibitions curated by New Genres Art Space:
From sandcastles and relic-like sculptures to an immersive three-channel video, Jonah King’s exhibition, How the West Was Won, reveals unique relationships among geologic time, colonialism, climate change, and golf.
By mixing augmented reality, video projections, and sound, Veronica Soria-Martinez’s exhibition Memory Access invites visitors into a multi-sensory space that investigates a speculative future through fictional relics.
The museum is currently open Thursday -Sunday.
A reception will be held May 21.

Taylor-Jade Laig-Duran is a high school junior. She also took part in the project. She normally sketches but the downtime during the pandemic made her want to do more. So she explored digital art.
