Join us for the dedication of Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More by Julian Charrière.
This program is in celebration of one of the newest additions to MIT’s Public Art Collection. Julian Charrière works in multiple mediums creating elegant conceptual works of art. This is a site-specific work that will serve as the new lobby and grand entryway to the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, the Environmental Solutions Initiative, and the MIT-Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Joint Program.

Julian Charrière's work examines the representation and perception of the natural world in an age of planetary ecological change. He is known for his elegant conceptual works that investigate how humans inhabit the world, and how it in turn inhabits us. Charrière's first major public art commission in the United States is installed at MIT’s new Tina and Hamid Moghadam Building (Building 55), designed by Cambridge-based Anmahian Winton Architects.
The Leroy and Dorothy Lavine Lecture Series was established to honor the Lavines, two prominent Boston art patrons and longtime supporters of the MIT List Visual Arts Center. The Leroy and Dorothy Lavine Lectures bring to the Boston community distinguished art world figures for talks on modern and contemporary art.
