This poten- tial new epoch is named for humans and is defined as one in which our impact on the world has been so acute that it is in the geologic evidence. Anthropocenic is a topical and compel- ling group exhibition by 17 artists/collaboratives from Maine, throughout the US, and abroad, who make art about nature, the natural world, and our effect on and interrelation with it in the 21st century.
