“In Advance of a Storm (for Luis and Antonia) (for A and L) (for parents) (for two)” was constructed in the summer of 2014 as The Lighthouse Work’s first sponsored public art work. The structures of “In Advance of a Storm” were located on two found platforms on Fishers Island, NY, and were each based on a cube, reconfigured to create a room. These rooms, and their contents, realized descriptions made by the artists’ architect parents in playing the Cube Game, a pop-psychology visualization. In this game, you are asked to respond to a set of prompts and describe the relationships and feelings associated with each. Your descriptions reveal insights to the inner mind and spirit.
This publication contains photographic documentation of “In Advance of a Storm,” the original interviews between Salazar and her parents Luis and Antonia, and essays by architects Billie Tsien and Tod Williams, sculptor Amy Brener, and photographer Lucas Blalock. The covers are silkscreened by the artist and 50 of the books are a special edition that include a hand-letterpress card from the day of the opening.
