"The system was invisible, which made it all the more impressive, all the more disquieting to deal with."
― Don DeLillo, White Noise (1985)

In White Noise, Christian Eckart is re-presenting romantic sublime imagery for the purpose of reconsidering its primal power specifically in the context of the potential extinction of the human species as a result of climate change. Without humankind, who will be left to appreciate, collect, and share the Earth's ineffable beauty and awesome grandeur? The exhibition title is an acknowledgement to the profound impact Don DeLillo's 1985 novel by the same name, and presenting similar undercurrents, had on the artist many years earlier. White Noise is on view through March 17 at Wilding Cran Gallery 939 South Santa Fe Avenue, Los Angeles. photographs courtesy of Wilding Cran Gallery
