Current/Upcoming
Filter Effect
In Filter Effect, artist Brighton McCormick explores the invisible systems that shape our understanding of the world through sculptural works that intertwine natural elements and industrial remnants. Addressing themes like algorithmic news feeds, consumer convenience, environmental precariousness, and psychological lenses, the exhibit examines how filtration directs our lived experiences. Pieces such as cast iron lungs patterned with plant life, impressions of waterfalls, and reconfigured consumer remnants highlight the tension between the organic and manufactured, the beautiful and destructive, the necessary and indulgent. By reflecting on how we sift, sort, and construct meaning from what is included or excluded, McCormick invites viewers to consider: When do filters sharpen our vision, and when do they confine it?
Call for Artists
Interested in showing your work at MWMO Stormwater Park and Learning Center?
The MWMO is proud to partner with local artists to feature exhibits in our lobby gallery. Our vision for the space is to highlight artists who demonstrate connection with and stewardship of the Mississippi River and its watershed. Exhibits are typically up for three months and artists are encouraged to host some type of community engagement activity that highlights their work and supports the mission of the MWMO during that time.
