About The Artwork

This is the main manufacturing site of the World’s most widely used herbicide. Though it was previously advertised as harmless to humans, new evidence indicates that it is dangerous, both to people and any plants and animals that are exposed to it. This herbicide is used in conjunction with seeds that have been genetically modified to tolerate its application, which means that anyone consuming these crops is eating a genetically modified plant, and whatever residue of the pesticide remains. In addition, this herbicide is increasingly being applied, especially to wheat and grains, just prior to harvest, especially in wet areas, to speed the harvesting. In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) at the World Health Organization classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans”. In August 2018, a court in San Francisco, presented with scientific evidence and company documents, found that this glyphosate manufacturer was liable for the cancer of a California school groundskeeper, and ordered it to pay the man $289,000,000. The German chemical giant that bought this company in 2018 for $66 Billion, recently put aside $10.9 Billion for expected liability to lawsuits arising from the use of the glyphosate herbicides.

"The vivid color photographs of J Henry Fair lead an uneasy double life as potent records of environmental pollution and as ersatz evocations of abstract painting...information and form work together, to devastating effect." -Roberta Smith, The New York Times Photographer J Henry Fair is best known for his Industrial Scars series, in which he researches our world's most egregious environmental disasters and creates images that are simultaneously stunning and horrifying, and more closely resemble abstract paintings by Georgia O'Keeffe and Jackson Pollock than what the collective views as reality. Mr. Fair's work has been featured in segments on The TODAY Show, CNN, NPR's Marketplace, and WDR German TV, as well as in most major publications, including The New York Times, National Geographic, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, New York Magazine, Harper's Magazine, Smithsonian Magazine, and GQ. Additionally, Mr. Fair's work travels around the world in fine art exhibitions at major museums, galleries, and educational institutions. Mr. Fair has served as Artist-in-Residence at some of the nation's top educational institutions for art and environmental studies, including Dartmouth College, Colorado College, Vanderbilt University, and most recently Swarthmore College this past February. Additionally, Mr. Fair maintains an active lecture schedule, in which he presents photographic symposia to audiences in the US and abroad. Recent engagements have included Bloomberg, The Collegiate School, and Die Spedition. After a hugely successful presentation at the TED Talks conference, High Energy, in Berlin in November 2011, Mr. Fair has just completed his second TED Talk, this time at Wake Forest University's conference, Defining the Future, held in February, 2013. Mr. Fair is also a regular blogger on art and the environment for the Huffington Post and NRDC's OnEarth Magazine, giving readers a first-hand look inside the important issues he studies and photographs. Mr. Fair's book, The Day After Tomorrow: Images of Our Earth in Crisis was released in February, 2011, published by powerHouse Books in cooperation with Random House. In January, 2012, Mr. Fair's new multi-media piece, Das Lied von der Erde (Heute), was premiered in Germany by the Weimar Staatskapelle. This stunning performance piece re-imagines Gustav Mahler's classic orchestral work, pairing it with an animated series of Fair's electrifying environmental photographs. Also in 2012, Mr.
