These are only a handful of the themes that have emerged in HereNow: Rutgers 250, the Zimmerli Art Museum's first crowdsourced exhibition that celebrates the university's milestone anniversary. Not about the past, the project is intended to capture the global Rutgers community today. The microsite herenow250.rutgers.edu launched in November – coinciding with the kickoff of Rutgers 250 – and individuals began uploading their photos. On January 19, the Zimmerli transformed the virtual gallery into a museum exhibition. As more photographs come in, the museum prints them and hangs them on the walls of the Voorhees Gallery.

New Brunswick, NJ—January 19, 2016—On March 12, the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers will open Dreamworlds and Catastrophes, an exhibition exploring Soviet artists' engagement with science, technology, and design at the height of the Cold War. The artists featured in the exhibition captured the duality of the intense geopolitical circumstances and the sense of hopeful possibility created by technological advancement in Soviet military and space technologies. Works in the exhibition range from documentary photography, which memorialized scientific achievements and their influence on everyday life, to surrealistic abstractions that encapsulated the sense of a rapidly changing world, to kinetic sculptures that incorporated new technologies. Although created in the Cold War era of the 1960s to the1980s, these works have a renewed relevance and immediacy as current global events have reignited American and Western European tensions with Russia.
