EcoArt Project launches Rebound-NYC, a series of pop-up art installations in collaboration with Chashama. It is pleased to present the solo artist exhibition Alex Nero: The Weather Within. The artist’s visual exploration of emotions and personal responsibility parallels the global climate crisis. The artist views the entrenched perspective of climate-change denial as an internal weather pattern—a frozen mindset that humans need to thaw in order to shift.

“If we are frozen in our ways, then we’re cold. We’re neither warmed by nature nor can we be in touch with it—we’re at the point that is farthest away. So in order to move past denial, all we have to do is observe the weather within. If you pay attention, you can’t deny the climate crisis.”  — Alex Nero.

The Weather Within will debut a new series of projection pieces titled Monoliths alongside prints from the artist’s collection of experiments with fluid dynamics. The artist’s digital photographs capture the striking interactions of his chosen paints and water. Directly addressing climate-change denial, Nero’s Monoliths represent massive structures of “obviousness” that can’t be ignored if one is consciously present in the room.
