While at the conference be sure to visit the Panacea Museum which is hosting “De/Coding the apocalypse” a major art installation by Michael Takeo Magruder from March 8th – June 29th. The exhibition consists of five media installations that are constructed using a range of digital technologies and physical materials associated with traditional installation, painting, print, video and sculpture. This blending of new and old updates and expands the concepts and contexts that have surrounded the Book of Revelation throughout its history.
