The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum

Join us for a virtual talk with architect, designer, and educator at School of Architecture and Planning at MIT Cristina Parreño Alonso, whose work delves into the concept of deep time, the vast temporal scales that shape our planet and humanity’s place within it. This special event complements Martha Diamond: Deep Time, currently on view at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, which features the artist's evocative paintings that explore the intersections of nature, time, and urban life.

Members and friends, please join us to celebrate the opening of Martin Beck: ... for hours, days, or weeks at a time before the exhibition opens to the public, and Aldrich Projects | Wen Liu: Tame Tangle.
