Cli­mate Sig­nals, five-bor­ough pub­lic art instal­la­tion on Gov­er­nors Island

Sep 4, 2018 4:07 pm

Through­out Sep­tem­ber and Octo­ber, promi­nent, unex­pect­ed mes­sages about cli­mate change dot the New York City land­scape, spark­ing curios­i­ty and rais­ing aware­ness. The Cli­mate Muse­um, in part­ner­ship with the Mayor’s Office — Cli­mate Pol­i­cy and Pro­grams, will present Cli­mate Sig­nals, a mul­ti-site out­door instal­la­tion by Justin Brice Guar­iglia.

The exhi­bi­tion on Gov­er­nors Island con­sists of two large (11’ x 7’), solar-pow­ered high­way signs with phras­es that draw passers-by into the cli­mate conversation.

Eight more signs will appear in parks across the city in a range of neigh­bor­hoods, includ­ing some of those most vul­ner­a­ble to cli­mate change, and will flash trans­la­tions into sev­er­al of the many lan­guages of NYC. 

The two signs on Gov­er­nors Island are locat­ed at Cas­tle Williams and Yan­kee Pier.
