Patte Loper’s exhibition, “Laboratory for Other Worlds,” is showing at the NYU Gallatin WetLab: Living Laboratory and Teaching Gallery.
“Laboratory for Other Worlds is an exhibition and book project that responds to damaged landscapes by constructing spaces of refuge—incomplete yet insistent acts of preservation, witnessing, and re-enchantment within worn-out worlds. Conceived by interdisciplinary artist Patte Loper, the laboratory began as a way to reflect and communicate on research on variable sea level rise in the Northeastern United States; it has become a larger project seeking to make climate science accessible through immersive installation. This effort is situated in the Environmental Humanities, a movement that combines art, philosophy, Indigenous knowledge, and science to challenge human-centered cultural and intellectual frameworks.”
Laboratory for Other Worlds opened September 24th, 2026, at 20A Nolan Park, Governors Island. It is open to the public on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, 10am-4pm. More at https://wp.nyu.edu/gallatinwetlab/laboratory-for-other-worlds/
