“Inexcusable’ is an action piece done at Culture Lab, NY during the exhibition of Pietrapiana’s climate change works on paper. The artist wrote over and over again, arguments made by politicians and businessmen that either deny or minimize the urgency of the climate crisis, resulting in an unreadable rectangle of cursive text on different tones of graphite. The writing is on the wall.
Inexcusable is part of The Nation’s “Artistic Dispatches from the Frontline of Resistance”.
