Future Proof is a group show curated by Jared Linge for American Abstract Artists, featuring 17 of the group’s members. This exhibition examines the way that longevity in art can meaningfully shape communities and cultural landscapes over time. Here, “longevity” refers to the ability of art to endure, develop, and proliferate on its own terms, regardless of trends and circumstances. In an industry where social media and the art market reduce discourse to an endless succession of changing fashions, Future Proof positions communities of career-long practices as an alternative model. In this context, longevity is achieved both in open systems of making and an intergenerational collaborative spirit.

Featured Artists: Jeffrey Bishop, Jacob Cartwright, Joanne Freeman, Lynne Harlow, Carl E. Hazlewood, Pinkney Herbert, Jane Logemann, Stephen Maine, Russell Maltz, Tom McGlynn, Manfred Mohr, Lisa E. Nanni, Jim Osman, Sonita Singwi, Melissa Staiger, Jason Stopa, and Li Trincere
