Exhibiting artist Markus Puskar will share both conceptual and technical details relating to his painting series, "The Loneliness of Infrastructure," on display at Bemis Library May to August 2026.
The Loneliness of Infrastructure
Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) and artist Markus Puskar present The Loneliness of Infrastructure at Bemis Library. The oil-painting series presented throughout this Littleton library explores isolation and atomization; themes which Puskar identifies as key social trends in 2026. With a rhythmic and unifying style, Puskar critically yet carefully constructs visions of wanton excess in the environments that we inhabit. In these swallowed worlds, infrastructure becomes physical manifestations of collective will to show the capacity for connection can be retained.
