In our age of polycrisis, wherein multiple seismic events occur simultaneously, how do we visualize our place in a world that is no longer recognizable? "Olivia Erlanger: If Today Were Tomorrow" reimagines what it means to inhabit a planet. Shifting between notions of homeas an architecture, a neighborhood, a world, or a feelingOlivia Erlanger continues her decade-long disruption of what she refers to as the semiotics of suburbia, or the symbols and myths of suburban life. In this new body of work, the artist expands our understanding of home as a greater ecosystem containing not only houses but also their interiors and surrounding infrastructure. This publication contains Erlanger's debut solo museum exhibition in the US, showcasing her sculptural, filmic, and installation-based work.
