EPOCH proudly presents Purgatorio, a group exhibition organized with UCR ARTS as part of the institution’s Getty Pacific Standard Time Art (PST ART) 2024 Art & Science Collide initiative Digital Capture: Southern California and the Pixel-Based Image World. Exhibited as both a virtual exhibition and physical installation, Purgatorio features intergenerational and globally dispersed artists whose artworks have been expanded in a virtual remodeling of the Chet Holifield Federal Building in Laguna Nigel, CA. Designed as a ziggurat by modernist architect William L. Pereira in 1968-71, the building has supported several government agencies since its initial use as an aerospace firm during the Cold War. This has included the U.S. Treasury Department, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Citizenship and Immigration Services, a palatable contradiction given the legacies of the ziggurat as a sacred site intended to serve as a medium between heaven and earth.
