Barbara Cooper: Anthropogenic Life Forms
November 14, 2026 – January 9, 2027
OS Projects, W Wisconsin St, Chicago, IL 60614, USA
OS Projects presents “Anthropogenic Life Forms,” an exhibition of sculptures by Chicago artist Barbara Cooper. The show opens on November 14, 2026 and continues through January 9, 2027. Barbara Cooper’s obsession—and horror—is with microplastics, now found in all parts of the environment, including our air, water, and food. The artist started focusing on plastics after learning about plastiglomerates, a hybrid rock made from plastic debris fused with natural materials that will geologically define the Anthropocene epoch.
