GALLERY CANDICE MADEY

For its inaugural exhibition at 1 Rivington Street, Gallery Candice Madey is pleased to announce an exhibition There Will Come Soft Rains, presenting Igshaan Adams, Uri Aran, Athanasios Argianas, Chitra Ganesh, Ektor Garcia, Julia Haft Candell, Steffani Jemison, Rin Johnson, Sahar Khoury, Marlene McCarty, Diane Severin Nguyen, Em Rooney, and Didier William.

The exhibition title refers to a short story by Ray Bradbury published in The Martian Chronicles in 1950, in which a fully automated house continues its daily routines devoid of human life. The domestic setting symbolizes humanity’s more ambitious attempts to control time and the environment, and the disastrous outcome of excessive productivity, consumption, and competition. The story concludes with the mainframe repeating the same date and time endlessly, refuting linear concepts of time and progression; entropy and nature reclaim what remains of built human architecture.
