Earth Works: Mapping the Anthropocene at NHM
USC Fisher Museum of Art proudly announces a timely exhibition that depicts how humans are directly and indirectly impacting the planet. Through art, experience a new age - the Anthropocene Epoch, the period during which human activities have had a direct environmental impact on the Earth, from the far reaches of the atmosphere to the lowest depths of the ocean. This exhibition features 24 works by Justin Brice Guariglia which explore this geological age we’re living in.

Vote Planet Earth | Justin Brice | TEDxBoston
Justin is an artist who weaves together multiple media to tell a powerful story of how our climate and earth is changing. He flew with a NASA mission to map the transformation of our cryosphere and while they are flying over Greenland he shows us the scene they saw as an ancient glacier collapsed as they arrived. This experience of watching ice disappearing before his eyes, led Justin to curate an exhibit called Earth works: Mapping the Anthropocene at the Norton Museum down the road from Mar a Lago. He brings his artistic eye to tell a richer story—printing the melting glaciers on a new type of “forever man made material.” Justin seeks powerful ways to bring the broader public into the climate discussion—writing eco haikus, leveraging billboards and solar powered highway message boards across the US, and tattooing James Hanson’s global surface temperature shift onto his right arm. With two children, Justin says this is a personal battle for him and he believes that “art can give us new lenses and help transform us one installation at a time. Justin Brice Guariglia (b. 1974) is an American artist and activist whose work poignantly addresses the relationship between humans and the natural world.
“...the cognitive dissonance on these issues is so great, artists like Justin can provide something to hold onto"" said Beatrice Galilee, Daniel Brodsky Associate Curator of Architecture and Design at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Justin Brice Guariglia’s We Are the Asteroid employs a highway message sign to bring attention to how anthropocentric, or human-centered, attitudes have allowed for unsustainable systems that contribute to climate change. The artist generated the slogan for this work with eco-critic and professor Timothy Morton. Guariglia’s sign both warns of the destructive behaviors that have caused environmental degradation in the contemporary era and reminds the viewer that human beings are part of a larger ecosystem—even the universe.

Justin Brice Guariglia - Like A Thief In The Night
This summer, temperatures have risen to a shocking 37 degrees in Belgium. Global warming is one of the urgent environmental disasters that Guariglia addresses with his art, so this exhibition could not be more aptly timed.
"Art can give us new ways to see and understand the complex world around us, and in doing so, it can become a positive force for social and political change.”
Guariglia collaborates with philosophers, scientists, and journalists to develop a more informed, holistic, ontological world view. In doing so, his art has become a research practice to investigate the world, and forge a deeper understanding of important ecological issues of our time.
"Extraction, agriculture, consumption and the subsequent meltdown of our planet... The Anthropocene is when the science fiction section is moved into the current affairs section of the book store and library!"
Justin Brice Guariglia's Like A Thief In The Night at MARUANI MERCIER Knokke runs from 4 August until 2 September 2018.
