Miljohn Ruperto: Ultimate Days

Minnesota Street Project Foundation and the Cantor Arts Center are pleased to present Miljohn Ruperto: Ultimate Days , a solo exhibition of work by Bay Area-raised, Los Angeles-based artist Miljohn Ruperto, whose multimedia and collaborative practice considers the elusive nature of knowledge and the ways we understand our place in the world. Presenting two new artworks, Miljohn Ruperto: Ultimate Days considers how the West has envisioned its own end, exploring possibilities for shaping more just tomorrows. Reflecting on notions of apocalypse and utopia from the Second Great Awakening—an early 19th century religious movement—to today's era of rapid technological advancement, the artworks presented invoke the apocalypse as the break from which a radically different civilization can emerge. Part of the artist's recent foray into critically considering new technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence in his work, these artworks offer glimpses of futures that entice, confound, and unsettle. By laying bare the West's desires for its future and anxieties about its own end, Miljohn Ruperto: Ultimate Days encourages us to consider our own fears and hopes, relate to each other in new ways, and create the future we want to see. Ruperto's latest film, The New Society (2026) is screened once daily, fifteen minutes before closing, conceptually mirroring the film's setting at dusk, gesturing towards the dawn of a new era.
