Read artnet's "Things Not to Miss" pick of our upcoming walkthrough of “As If: Alternative Histories From Then to Now” and come to The Drawing Center this Thursday, May 23 at 6:30pm. FREE. "Join exhibition curator Giampaolo Bianconi and critic Ed Halter for an eye-opening tour of “As If: Alternative Histories From Then to Now” (on view through July 28), which brings together artworks ranging from speculative and science fiction publications to album and book covers to contemporary works on paper, all exploring the way things could have been—and could still be. The duo will discuss how these images relate to the narratives underpinning them and, in small and large ways, help shape our understanding of historical traumas and future possibilities."-artnet #AlternativeHistories artnet GiampaoloBianconi edhalter #walkthrough Image: Installation shot of “As If: Alternative Histories From Then to Now”.
