WE ARE THE ASTEROID III
JUSTIN BRICE GUARIGLIA

WE ARE THE ASTEROID III (June 14, 2019 to September 8, 2019) is a conceptual artwork by Brooklyn-based artist Justin Brice Guariglia. One of a series, the repurposed highway sign, featured text by Rice University professor Timothy Morton. Instead of alerting viewers to road conditions, the solar-powered LED message board featured aphorisms in the form of poetry, metaphor and humor, calling attention to ecological issues and prompting conversations about today’s planetary crisis.
