Robert Hightower
Robert Hightower, an Atlanta native, will be displaying pieces from his most recent body of work, The Apocalypse Simulacra, which is an immersive gallery installation depicting a visual narrative of the twilight of humanity, at the fulcrum of our own extinction.
Hightower received his BFA in sculpture from the University of Georgia. After graduating, he moved to New York City and participated in The Bronx Museum of the Art’s AIM Fellowship (Artist In the Marketplace). While in New York, his interests expanded to include art installation and the creation of spaces, and he has since designed and built many unique projects throughout the United States.
