From the museum: Anchored by the creative devices that have become characteristic of Nick Brandt’s powerful and penetrating artistic style, This Empty World envisions a world overwhelmed by development, where there is no longer space for animals to survive. Brandt aims to highlight the vulnerabilities of both animals and poor rural people, the primary casualties in the environmental degradation that comes with the short economic gain of out-of-control development. In the last century an enormous percentage of the world’s flora and fauna have vanished. Considering biodiversity is nature’s own deterrent to extinction, this reduction leaves our environment increasingly vulnerable. This traveling exhibition of 31 large scale photographs by Brandt, conveys the need to address man’s role in the escalating environmental and ecological destruction of the natural world.

Join Gallery QI for "Three Echologies: Scene 2: Planetary Echologies," a performative piece by Unidad de Conciencias Colectivas Terrestres (Terrestrial Collective Consciousness Unit), Electronic Disturbance Theater 2.0 and *particle group* from QI Principal Investigator Ricardo Dominguez. Date | Thursday, May 19 at 5 p.m. Location | UCSD Atkinsons Hall Free Event, RSVPs requested to galleryqi@ucsd.edu. “Scene 2: Planetary Echologies” explores climate borders, environmental degradation and "ecosophy," a philosophy dedicated to studying links between social relations, human subjectivity and the natural world, through the medium of art. The performers find inspiration in the book “The Three Ecologies,” in which the psychoanalyst, philosopher and playwright Félix Guattari defines ecology at three different scales: planet-wide crises like the pandemic and climate change, intermediate-level relations like micro-politics and micro- and molecular scales within the body. All Gallery QI events are free and open to the public. Food and drink will be provided. An important note: The Gallery QI adheres to current UC San Diego guidelines regarding COVID-19 and public safety. Students, staff, faculty, and UC Affiliates must show their daily symptom screener and must have green thumb to attend. Non-affiliate attendees are encouraged to test within 24 hours of the event.
