Artist, writer, and art-writer Sarah Hotchkiss has seen the future, and it's pretty damn weird. Her sculptures and drawings depict a world that is brightly colored, meticulously engineered, and usually kind of pointy. One of her works, Nebula Camper, shows a housewife merrily washing dishes in a '50s-futuristic kitchen while a nebula blazes hellfire right outside her window. Tonight, Hotchkiss speaks about the ways generations past have pictured the future, and how looking forward forces us to look back (and hopefully forward again, because the road is full of tripping hazards).
Sarah Hotchkiss speaks at 7 p.m. at the Oakland Museum of California at 1000 Oak St., Oakland. Free with museum admission, $7.50 after 5 p.m. Fridays; museumca.org.
