The sinking city police archive archive#

There was a single black slipper, waterlogged, that had been found in New Orleans’s Upper Ninth Ward, and, from Campbell, California, behind a small protective covering, a single wing of a butterfly. There was a brown glass bottle, retrieved from the site of the Rim Fire in California, and a crumpled wrapper of an Australian candy called Snakes Alive. There were children’s toys-a truck, a plastic bird, a stuffed dog caught in fishing line that had washed up on a Miami pier. There were pieces of seaweed, mussel shells, a large mango seed. There was a fire-extinguisher inspection tag from Anvers Island, Antarctica there was a Nepalese flag there was a jar of confetti from the Venice Carnival. But, as I approached the table, it became clear that the collection was quite vast, a sweeping array of objects spanning time and place.

In the museum, the archive appeared small at first, housed in an L-shaped display table that took up only a portion of the room. A hundred and eleven of these objects were recently on display at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History, as part of a larger exhibition, “ Beyond the World’s End,” about social justice and climate change. In the course of the past ten years, more than a hundred items have come from places such as Antarctica, Cape Verde, Cuba, Greenland, Italy, Nepal, Panama, Peru, Russia, Senegal, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, and the United States. There was a box of Kodak film that Henry had bought at a flea market in Philadelphia-maybe forty or fifty reels of local family history that he’d never ended up using-that was now waterlogged.Įventually, Colburn mailed some of these objects to San Francisco, where they became part of a nascent collection: “ A People’s Archive of Sinking and Melting.” The archive, started by an artist, Amy Balkin, in 2011, is a participatory collection of objects and materials that have been “contributed by people living in places that may disappear because of the combined physical, political, and economic impacts of climate change, primarily sea level rise, erosion, desertification, and glacial melting.” Anyone anywhere in the world can mail in a contribution, as long as it weighs half a pound or less the things they send can be “natural, manufactured, found, made, or discarded, including trash.” Contributors are invited to send some details about the object’s origin, and how that place might be threatened by climate change, and also any notes about the specific object. She found a dollar bill floating in the hallway, ringed with rust he found a VHS tape of Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” which his roommate had given him. Henry and another artist, Adriane Colburn, began collecting some of the materials. But, immediately, they began to take stock of what was damaged and lost.

The artists wouldn’t move back into the space for more than half a year owing to renovations. “The power of the water was so strong that huge, heavy items had been tossed to the other side of the studio.”

“It was not only completely submerged but also destroyed,” he said. When he drove back the next day, he realized that he had been right to worry: the artists’ studios had been submerged under seven feet of water. As Henry saw photos of Jane’s Carousel, in Brooklyn Bridge Park, being consumed by a flood, he thought of his studio, which was near there, in the basement of a nonprofit gallery and artists’ residency called Smack Mellon. The apartment is 100% investigated.Tyler Henry was away from New York City on the night that Hurricane Sandy hit, in 2012, but he saw the storm unfold from a distance on social media. You will learn that Anna was married to Professor Cavendish and that because of disagreements she ran away from George with her child.
