Northeastern Gallery 360

We're thrilled to announce our next exhibition! Opening on Jan. 21 in Boston, "The Data at Hand: Data Physicalizations of Earth and Space" is the first-ever collaborative show between Gallery 360 and the Mills College Art Museum.

Bringing together new commissions and existing work from artists Nathalie Miebach and just practice (Amanda Ugorji and Sophie Weston Chien), "The Data at Hand" presents data physicalization—or the act of giving a data set physical form—as a potential antidote to the data fatigue that we face in our contemporary world.

From political forecasting to the charting of global temperatures, data visualization has become an ever-present tool today. Yet the richness of information represented in them can be difficult to engage with on a personal level, and at worst can give rise to feelings of numbness and powerlessness. In "The Data at Hand," artists use traditional craft media to make the complexity of our planet concrete and accessible.

Drawing upon datasets from sources ranging from the shifting terrain of riverbeds or practices of redlining, the objects in this exhibition offer a powerful example of craft’s unique contribution to how we understand the world around us.

In Fall 2026, the exhibition will be on view in an expanded form at MCAM in Oakland. In the meantime, we can't wait to share Miebach, Ugorji, and Chien's artworks with you at Boston campus!
