Something is happening here. A vast canvas of white, its ripples and swirls frothed like peaks of meringue. A vast canvas of black, studded with what appears to be shimmering starburst.
Look closely.
That’s what Justin Brice Guariglia (’97) asks of you.
Since he left Wake Forest he has traveled by air and overland, across the rice paddies and beaches of Bali, into the secretive Shaolin Temple of sacred martial arts in China and among the people bustling through marketplaces in Shanghai. He has taken you with him, the photographer on assignment for National Geographic, National Geographic Traveler and Smithsonian magazines, on expeditions that allowed you to examine, clear-eyed and captivated, the cultural treasures of the world.
Look closely once more. The canvases of white and of black might not be what you think. Here in Guariglia’s studio in Brooklyn, New York, nearer to bleak highway interchanges than to

Details
WE ARE THE ASTEROID III is a conceptual, text-based artwork by Brooklyn-based artist Justin Brice Guariglia (b. ). One of a series, the repurposed highway sign features texts by Rice Professor Timothy Morton, Rita Shea Guffey Chair in English and author of HYPEROBJECTS: Philosophy and Ecology after the End of the World, among other publications.
This solar-powered LED message board – like those typically found at construction sites – alerts viewers to slow down and beware of dangers ahead. Instead of road conditions, however, the board features aphorisms calling attention to ecological issues such as “TRIASSIC WEATHER AHEAD,” “WARNING: HURRICANE HUM
This Artist is Raising Environmental Awareness All Across New York
If you’re in the mood for a scavenger hunt, then you’re in luck. Interdisciplinary artist Justin Brice Guariglia has teamed up with New York’s Climate Museum and the Mayor’s Office Climate Policy and Programs team to stage 10 installations across New York that resemble ordinary highway signals, but bear poignant—if strangely humorous—ecologically-minded messages.
Titled “Climate Signals” and scattered throughout the five boroughs, the series of solar-powered signs, which display warnings such as “CLIMATE DENIAL KILLS” and other similar sentiments, can be found in public parks. The installations reach as far north as Harlem and Hunts Point, west to Snug Harbor, and southeast to Rockaway Park, with plenty scattered in-between. Everywhere, Guariglia, whose recent work has focused largely on global warming, hopes that these new public installations will spark discussion about climate change.

In , artist Justin Brice Guariglia participated in NASA&#;s Operation Ice Bridge, flying over Greenland and photographing the Galloping Glacier near Jacobshavn. This glacier is among the fastest melting in the world, and few places illustrate the effects of climate change as starkly.[1] Guariglia observed the melting ice and heard the cracks splitting the archipelago. Later, he spent months working with gesso, acrylic and plastics on these photographs, creating tactile surface textures like Jacobshavn I (Fig. 1, 2).[2]

A year later and about kilometres northwest of Jacobshavn, French philosopher and sociologist Bruno Latour flew over Baffin Island to Canada, where he spoke on perceptions of nature in the era of climate change. From the airplane, he looked down on Earth. Baffin Island, the largest island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, has been covered with ice for millennia. Yet, instead of a frozen white d
