Pomona College Museum of Art displays an exhibition to explore the future life of cities

The Pomona College Museum of Art is host to "suddenly: where we live now" that details the future life of cities from Saturday Jan. 24 through April 12.

Stephanie Snyder, exhibition curator, will lead a walkthrough with participating artists at 4 p.m. Saturday. An opening reception will then be held from 5 to 7 p.m.

Snyder is also the director of the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery at Reed College in Portland, Ore.

The exhibition, museum officials said in a release, takes its name from German urban planner Thomas Sieverts's observation that "the shaping of the landscape where we live can no longer be achieved by the traditional resources of town planning, urban design, and architecture. New ways must be explored, which are as yet unclear."

Projects such as video, painting and photography shape the exhibit as well as community based items like spontaneous public lectures and a poster initiative.

The museum is free and open from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The Pomona College Museum of Art is located at 330 N. College Avenue.
