About this Event
8342 Big Bend Blvd, 63119
International artist Rebecca Olsen's new exhibition, “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” visually addresses themes of infinity and asks existential questions about the nature of reality, the infinite nature of the universe, and perception. The exhibition opens with a public artist reception at Webster University’s Hunt Gallery on Friday, November 22, from 5:30 - 8p.m. The Hunt Gallery is located at 8342 Big Bend Blvd.
In her work, Rebecca Olsen creates symbols and uses geometric forms to translate myths and discuss what existence feels like. Through her creative lens, she contemplates significant scientific discoveries, psychology, the meaning of life, chaos theory, climate change, and the nature of power. At the heart of this exhibition is the desire to create an immersive space filled with ideas. She develops this visual language, creating a formal landscape for the ideas to dialog.
Rebecca Olsen presents an installation featuring diverse media, including painting, collage, sculpture, video, and sound for this exhibition. The exhibition title “Everything Everywhere All at Once” references the 2022 film of the same name and reflects her intention to explore themes of neurodiversity and multidimensional thinking.
Rebecca Olsen has shown her work internationally, with gallery representation in Berlin, for her visual art, and she sells her wearable art at the Whitney Museum store.
The exhibition will remain open until January 17, 2025, and is co-curated by Jeffrey Hughes, professor of Art History and director of Hunt Gallery, and Terri F. Reilly, both in the Department of Art, Design, and Art History at Webster University.
