Highlight Tour: Artworks by Julian Charrière

Join the List Visual Arts Center and MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS) for a walkthrough of the permanent artwork by conceptual artist Julian Charrière entitled Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More.

This guided tour features artworks hidden in plain sight or viewed on occasion as one of the newest public installations in MIT’s Percent-for-Art Program. Known for exploring themes of transformation, the natural world, deep time, and the environment, Charrière’s commission comprises of three interrelated works in dialogue with the newly completed Tina and Hamid Moghadam Building. Designed by AW-ARCH, the glassed-in atrium of the Moghadam Building connects with and enhances the iconic I.M. Pei-designed Cecil and Ida Green Building, creating a new gateway and headquarters for EAPS, the Environmental Solutions Initiative, and the MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography and Engineering. Alongside the three permanent artworks, Charrière’s related film Towards No Earthly Pole will be screened on the atrium’s media wall.

The Percent-for-Art Program, administered by the List Visual Arts Center, allocates up to $500,000 to commission art for each major renovation or campus construction project. 

This program is free, but registration is required. 

In partnership with Cambridge Science Festival and MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS).
