A new exhibit at Gallery114@HCC reflects on the end or the world and the potential for utopia. Everything You’ve Ever Wanted is a solo exhibition of new work by Finn Schult, curated by Emiliano Settecasi. The exhibition will be on display until June 22 at the gallery in Ybor City.
Everything You’ve Ever Wanted
Everything You’ve Ever Wanted is a solo exhibition of new work by Finn Schult reflecting on the inevitability of the end of the world and the fantasy of apocalypse as catalyst for utopia. Schult’s multimedia series exists as fragments, sketches and interludes distilled from an otherwise deranged web of theories.

At times, the artworks presented feel terroristic, violent and unbearably bleak–at other times, they remind us of the beauty inherent in loss, longing and love. Schult’s work yearns for a world that doesn’t yet exist and mourns for a world that isn’t yet gone, answering the cry, “How will I ever get out of this labyrinth?” with “The only way out is through.”
