MAEP Opening: Alison Hiltner

Join us for the opening of “Alison Hiltner, It Is Yesterday.” This event is held in conjunction with Mia’s Third Thursday. Grab a drink in the lobby after viewing the show.

For her MAEP exhibition, Hiltner has created a responsive environment that explores the symbiosis between algae and humans. Equal parts experimental laboratory and functioning mechanized interior environment, the installation immerses audiences in a landscape influenced by science fiction, yet populated by real organisms, confusing fact and fantasy. By forging a localized personal connection with sensor data, this work provides an intimate approach to climate issues. This exhibition is part of the Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program, located in Mia’s U.S. Bank Gallery.
