According to conspiracy theorists, fear-mongers, schizophrenic wizards, and new-age paranoiacs, the world is gonna end in approximately 853 days when the Mayan long-count calendar comes to a close. There will be black holes, monster tsunamis, cataclysmic earthquakes, fiery asteroids, and armies of ancient ghosts run amok.

With work by a dozen artists — including Valdes, George Sanchez-Calderon, John Sevigny, Reiner Gamboa, Freegums, Raul Perdomo, Oliver Sanchez, David Marish, Brian Gefen, Johnny Robles, Eric Torriente, and David Tamargo — this end-of-days exhibition looks deep into the crystal ball, as the show announcement says, to "offer predictions, guesses, and feelings about the much-anticipated year, 20(12)."
