Minnesota Street Project Foundation and the Cantor Arts Center are pleased to present Miljohn Ruperto: Ultimate Days, a solo exhibition of work by Bay Area-raised, Los Angeles-based artist Miljohn Ruperto, whose multimedia and collaborative practice considers the elusive nature of knowledge and the ways we understand our place in the world.

Presenting two new artworks, Miljohn Ruperto: Ultimate Days considers how the West has envisioned its own end, exploring possibilities for shaping more just tomorrows. Reflecting on notions of apocalypse and utopia from the Second Great Awakening—an early 19th century religious movement—to today’s era of rapid technological advancement, the artworks presented invoke the apocalypse as the break from which a radically different civilization can emerge.

Part of the artist’s recent foray into critically considering new technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence in his work, these artworks offer glimpses of futures that entice, confound, and unsettle. By laying bare the West’s desires for its future and anxieties about its own end, Miljohn Ruperto: Ultimate Days encourages us to consider our own fears and hopes, relate to each other in news ways, and create the future we want to see.

This exhibition is presented in conjunction with the Cantor Arts Center’s exhibition, Animal, Vegetable, nor Mineral: Works by Miljohn Ruperto, on view March 12–September 14, 2026.

Miljohn Ruperto’s (b. 1971, Manila, Philippines) distinctive multimedia practice considers the elusive nature of knowledge and strives to unsettle our knowledge of nature. Working across film, video, digital animation, performance, photography, and more, Ruperto interrogates the way we conceptualize, categorize, and represent nature to understand our place in the world, chronicle its history, and imagine its future. Ruperto received his M.F.A. from Yale University, and his B.A. in Art Practice from University of California, Berkeley. Ruperto has exhibited work internationally at Foto Arsenal Wien, Vienna (2025); ICA LA, Los Angeles (2024); MEP, Paris (2024); Jakarta Biennale (2021); Singapore Biennale (2019); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2018, 2012); Schinkel Pavillion, Berlin (2018); REDCAT, Los Angeles (2017); Kadist, San Francisco (2017); Whitney Biennial (2014); among others. In 2019, he participated in the Acts of Life critical research residency at NTU CCA Singapore and MCAD Manila commissioned by the Goethe-lnstitut. His work is in the collections of Cantor Arts Center, MoMA NY, Hammer Museum, Whitney Museum of American Art, and Kadist Art Foundation.
