Nathan Abels: History of the Future
February 1 – May 28, 2018
@ BMoCA

History of the Future by Nathan Abels embeds contemporary technologies and icons into scenes from a perspective of faith, ritual and religion. Nathan Abels has keen interest in the narratives of ancient cultures, regularly visiting abandoned sites of the American West to understand a culture from happenstance preservation. A Colorado artist and teacher, Abels was raised religious in the Midwest. Many of his works capture a suspended moment, reflecting the sense of awe found through the ancients, religion, or advances in innovation.
