Basalt rocks, black sand, majestic waterfalls and the most scenic track near Vik. Great time with friends.

Took a break from instagram to reconnect with nature on our Iceland ring trip with @eckenrpe. One of the most unforgettable experiences. Sometimes non-wine vacations work magic! #icecave #glacierlagoon #VatnajökullNationalpark

#oystermidden #angleofincidence #focusartfair2024 #nyccultureclub Opening tomorrow! Text me for tickets. How to Know What We Know: New Experiences in the Holocene
Center For Environmental Transformation https://www.cfet.org/
LABitate with Essay by Terri C. Smith
Focus Art Fair, 548 West 22nd St., May 9–12, 2024
https://www.focusartfair.net

While the most dramatic and exploitative damage to the planet arguably began during the industrial revolution, humans have been altering the Earth at lower decibels since prehistoric times. For instance, our current period “Holocene”---in Greek hólos, means "whole," and kainós, means "new”---began 11,700 years ago at the end of the last ice age and corresponds with the rapid proliferation of humans and our increasing impact on the planet.

In How to Know What We Know: New Experiences in the Holocene, artists investigate aspects of this era’s environmental impact, exploring complex ecological dynamics through strategies such as re-presenting them, learning from them, and positing solutions that may mitigate damage done to them. In many cases, these artists take to heart Sol LeWitt’s line from Sentences on Conceptual Art (1968)---“Rational judgements repeat rational judgements…illogical judgements lead to new experience”---creating dynamic, often quasi-scientific works that encourage inquiry, discussion, observation, and experimentation.

In keeping with this exhibition’s spirit and theme, 20% of the sale proceeds will benefit the Camden NJ artist collective LABitate and Camden’s Center for Environmental Transformation (CET). In the build-up to World War II, Camden, New Jersey was a thriving industrial city, but now is one of the most economically depressed and polluted in the US. It is also a food desert with two supermarkets for 70,000 residents. However, Camden communities and organizations like LABitate and CET are incorporating DIY practices in food production and land reclamation to make their home more livable, with a recent study finding that Camden may now have more community and individual gardens than any other U.S. city.
