Saint Joseph’s Arts Foundation presents Beatrice Glow: The Collection of the EoS10^15. Multimedia artist Beatrice Glow kicks off Saint Joseph’s Arts Foundation inaugural “Apothecary of Ideas” with a site-responsive installation, reimagining the Apothecary and the Vestry spaces as historic period rooms based on a fictional family, Empire of Smoke quadrillionaires (EoS 10^15), rescuing their prized possessions from an uninhabitable Earth, circa 2068. Composed of hauntingly luxurious artifacts, including a range of hand-embroidered textiles, scent experiences, videos, as well as VR-sculpted and 3D-printed objects, the collection blurs the boundaries of fact and fiction and explores the language of luxury and power.

The installation is on view through January 30, 2023 and will be part of the FOG Design + Art Fair (January 19-22, 2023). A series of guided tours and performances of The Auctioneer, The Specialist and The Artist took place throughout January.

"The objects' trickery in their seemingly seamless surfaces compel us to closely inspect each one, demanding us to be critical of all that we see."
