K Allado-McDowell's The Known Lost exhibition invites visitors into a meditative space that celebrates extinct species through art and performance. Set in a serene gallery in New York City, the exhibition features musical elements combining scientific names of species with natural sounds, creating an emotional connection to life forms long gone. With a focus on 'deep time', Allado-McDowell encourages visitors to understand both their ancestry and the future of evolution. The exhibition is envisioned as an Act 1 of a larger opera, culminating in a proposed monument devoted to these lost species.
The Known Lost serves as a space for visitors to rehearse Act 1 of a continuously developing opera, honoring extinct species through immersive art.
Allado-McDowell's exhibition urges viewers to think with deep time, expanding their sense of ancestry and futurity amid Earth's 4.5-billion-year history.
