Imagined Futures: Science Fiction, Art, and Artifacts from the Paul G. Allen Family Collection

On view through July 10, 2016
Pivot Art + Culture, Seattle, WA

Imagined Futures features works by Chesley Bonestell, Fred Freeman, John Berkey, Jim Burns, Don Dixon, Bob Eggleton, Chris Foss, Fred Gambino, Ron Miller, Ludek Pesek, Richard Powers, Alex Schomburg and Tim White, alongside, for the first time, works from other artists inspired by the visualization of the unknown; Ansel Adams, Max Ernst, Robert Longo, René Magritte, Simon Norfolk, Thomas Ruff, and Thomas Struth.

In partnership with the Flying Heritage Collection and Living Computer Museum, Imagined Futures will also include artifacts from the history of rocketry and computing.

In our Auxiliary Gallery, we present an installation by Kristina Estell and David Bowen that can transport the viewer across the universe. Titled voyager one, it is created from custom software used to visualize the current location of the Voyager 1 space probe, launched by NASA in 1977.

Pivot Art + Culture is a 3,000-square-foot concept space located on the ground floor of the newly constructed Allen Institute building in the heart of Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood. It is part of Vulcan Inc. and Paul G. Allen's mission to make art accessible to the public.
