The concept of Thrutopia, originally popularized by Dr. Rupert Read, is a call to imagine and build a path through—not just out of—our climate and societal crises. It also reminds us to engage imagination in order to access greater forms of personal agency and collective care.

JOVI SCHNELL "ALL TOGETHER NOW", PAINT, THREAD AND COLLAGE ON CANVAS, 16 x 20 in, 2019
The Guerrero Gallery - "The Game Show" - Sarah Hotchkiss | Brandon Olsen | Jovi Schnell, Sept. 28th - Oct. 26th 2019
As we continue to unravel the often-problematic mythos that surround the tales we’ve told ourselves about modern abstraction, the painters grouped within the exhibition The Game Show utilize a radical sense of playfulness in staking a space within the sphere of abstract painting that eschews with the baggage and the tight-lipped seriousness of modernism, instead allowing us to breathe in some of the buoyant helium-tinged air being pumped onto the nearest studio set.
Schnell’s latest work explores the links between technology, humans, nature and the artist’s ever-present biological fascination. In an era of climate catastrophe, Schnell’s works beautifully clamor for an equality and harmony between all subjects–from plant to animal and data to energy, all have agency and an inherent reliance on another, balancing in complex systems of reliance and support.
