Jiayi Young ’94 Gallery Walk

Thursday, April 10 | 4:30 p.m.
Wriston Art Galleries

Join us for a gallery walk of the exhibition Beyond Tomorrow: An Artist’s Quest in the Last Decade with the artist, Jiayi Young ’94 (physics and studio art major).

This exhibition offers an insight into the creative journey behind two major projects Young completed over the past decade. The first is a three-phase effort aimed at democratizing social media data. The second is a public artwork that explores a moon rock brought back by Apollo 12 in 1969. The piece presents an enigmatic object—ice that never melts—serving as a metaphor for the paradox of humanity’s insatiable pursuit of resources and technological progress, even at the risk of self-destruction.

During the walk, visitors will also have the opportunity to engage with interactive computer programs, handle physical objects, ask questions, and discuss the projects with the artist.

Reception with refreshments to follow!
