Building 55 Art Dedication with Artist Julian Charrière

Please join us for the dedication of Everything Was Forever Until It Was No More, the public art installation by Julian Charrière on permanent display at the Moghadam Building.

Featuring a keynote lecture by the artist, this program is in celebration of one of the newest additions to MIT’s public art collection. Julian Charrière works in multiple mediums creating elegant conceptual works of art. This is a site-specific work that will enhance the new atrium and exterior greenspace entryway to the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, the Environmental Solutions Initiative, and the MIT-Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Joint Program.
