“We basically have three choices: mitigation, adaptation, and suffering. We’re going to do some of each. The question is – what is the mix going to be.” -David Pogue, How to Prepare for Climate Change: A Practical Guide to Surviving the Chaos The northeast, among many, many other places on the planet, is currently experiencing what climate change has to offer. But what does humanity have to offer in return? Perhaps a lot. We are adaptable. David Pogue believes we can move, build, garden, and adapt our way to a better future. Now is the moment when we see what climate change unleashes, but now is also the moment when we see how we rise to the occasion. Diego Singh talked to us about his two-person exhibition alongside Tomm El-Saieh, Flaming
Mirror, which ran until June 15 at Luhring Augustine. The title of the show arose when they visited the gallery space, which is divided by columns in the middle, prompting the two to mirror each other in the show. As Singh worked on the pieces for the show, he kept coming back to the word flaming, in part because of the work itself. To hear more about the origin of the title and more, listen to the complete interview. Michael Ambron sat down to discuss his show, No Time, which ran until mid-March at Ortega y Gasset Projects. Ambron explained that he often feels as though he does not have enough time to devote to his artistic practice. He went on to say that he feels we live in an age when there is no time to waste as we witness large-scale destruction of the planet and other hugely consequential things. These, along with a nod to the no-ego space of Buddhism
informed the title of the show. To learn more, listen to the complete interview. Read the summary of this week's interviews and resources. |
