FUTURE ANTERIOR transforms the gallery into a speculative space where scales, temporalities, and forms of existence collide. The project continues an international exchange between Durden and Ray and Rosalux. The project began in Berlin in 2024, continued with a collaboration with Nixxxon in Mexico City in 2025, and culminates in this exhibition at Durden and Ray in Los Angeles. This iteration further explores science fiction and the imagining of possible futures.

The exhibition brings together works at two extremes: small and monumental works. Nothing in between. By removing the scale viewers typically see, the exhibition disrupts familiar proportions and asks what happens when the body is no longer the measure of the world.
Artists are invited to consider scale beyond physical measurement through geological and evolutionary time, cultural memory, technological change, ecological transformation, and imagined futures. Works may appear ancient, alien, microscopic, monumental, archaeological, futuristic, intimate, or impossible. Drawing on speculative and posthuman thought, science fiction, by @curtisstage
