SIMMONS UNIVERSITY TRUSTMAN ART GALLERY PRESENTS
David Buckley Borden’s Ghost Forests
Simmons University presents Ghost Forests featuring new and collaborative work by David Buckley Borden. The exhibition runs from Tuesday, September 6, 2022 to Friday, October 21, 2022 at the Trustman Art Gallery, 300 Fenway, 4th Floor, Boston, MA 02115.
Borden’s latest collaborative art and design exhibition explores cultural response to dead and dying ecosystems through silkscreen prints, fabric works, wayfinding systems, speculative-futures sculpture, and other interdisciplinary installation work that defies simple categorization. True to Borden’s singular creative approach, this body of narrative-driven work promotes a shared environmental awareness and heightened cultural value of ecology by using an accessible, often humorous, combination of visual art and design.
Ghost Forests will include a variety of Borden’s recent Boston-based collaborative work, including 55 Gallon Drummers, Environmental Wayfinding, and the ever-expanding Environmental Revolution Flags project.
