Crisis Mode


Online Exhibition: November 1 - December 31, 2020

Virtual opening reception video link

Covid, cops, cabin fever, eco-catastrophe, and sexual politics --- in the art of our moment. Beyond the headlines, there is heroism and humor. In Crisis Mode, artists create individual expressions of shared experiences, fears and fantasies. Behind public events, private sorrows. Crisis Mode memorializes the present tense --- and points to tomorrow. It's personal now. It's time to write the history of the future.

She performed as lead curator for Peace Now! and the 2019 art installation at University House for Chancellor Carol Christ. Lucia was a recipient of the 2019 American Association of Museum Curators Conference Travel Fellowship for Junior Curators. She previously worked as a curatorial fellow at the New Orleans Museum of Art and is a contributing writer for The Iron Lattice.
