Sandy talisman

In Far Rockaway, Terrence Nottingham, 32, spoke of the Boardwalk as a kind of talisman. 

“If I’m ever going through something or feeling a certain way, I can come to the Boardwalk and it’s very serene,” he said. “I just look out at the water and I can just clear my head and think about how to help myself.” 

“I just hope that they hurry up and build another one, like this one but make it stronger,” he added.

Slow Onset Events

Here is a brief statement about my upcoming exhibition:

Slow Onset Events
Adam Farcus
Office Hours



Slow Onset Events is an umbrella term for slow-acting climate change effects such as "sea level rise, increasing temperatures, ocean acidification, glacial retread and related impacts, salinization, land and forest degradation, loss of biodiversity and desertification."1 Through poetic sleight of hand, the work in this exhibition exemplifies the fear surrounding climate change while also offering a psychological-cum-superstitious solution for said fear.

Hot Damn, Hot Damn

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology had to update their charts to reflect the extreme hot temperatures there now. If you're in the USA, 54ºC = 129.2ºF.

Also, that shit's on fire and you can see it from space.
