Originally home to a native forest featuring koa and ‘ōhiʻa lehua, among others, the trees were completely decimated by the turn of the 20th century thanks to foreign impositions and a combination of trade and overgrazing cattle. In an effort to replant the forest, trees of high economic potential were favored over those with ecological value. Walking through the natural fog belt today brings one past introduced redwoods and around trees recently burnt by a large fire in 2007 or knocked down by Hurricane Iselle in 2014. Change has different temporalities, made visible after decades of land misuse or always-fluctuating weather. One can only imagine what this forest might look like even in the near future as the world warms. Wheatpaste installation by Megan Bent.

Unlike its contemporaries Diamond Head and Punchbowl which bookend the city—and have become gated icons of tourism and the American military, respectfully—Tantalus is a little less symbolic. Instead, Tantalus is a destination for ecological restorationists, cyclists, architecture enthusiasts, drifters, pakalolo smokers, artists, downhill skateboarders, and hikers, a group of whom first gave it its modern name after failing to reach the seemingly evasive peak. Traditionally called Pu‘u ‘Ōhi‘a for the abundance of the native tree found near its summit, the mountain’s most prominent feature is now a number of radio towers, visible even from the ocean. The combined erasures of name and vegetation are not unrelated. This photo series was gathered during years of running the same trails, documenting both changes over time and the everyday. The photos were all taken on disposable cameras as an acceptance of Tantalus’ normal rainy weather, which nourishes the forest, the streams, and, therefore, the city’s residents. Proceeds from the show benefited the Mānoa Cliff Restoration Project and their efforts to replant a native forest on Tantalus.

This canvas was impermanently installed during the last month my partner and I were renting a studio apartment in Mānoa, Hawaiʻi. Our studio was over 200 square feet and cost $1,100 per month (utilities included!). As a doormat, the canvas slowly accumulated dust and grime from the outside elements and from the bottom of shoes after a hard day’s labor, acting as a muted recorder of time and energy. Anyone who visited our studio contributed to the piece, including friends, our landlord, and all the perspective renters who came for a showing in hopes of possibly filling the apartment after our move. Visitors undoubtedly saw our living area and my art “studio,” which doubled as our kitchen table. Thus, every showing was an exhibition of the rental space and an unknowing studio visit. The current lack of affordable housing in Hawaiʻi makes having a designated space for art making incredibly difficult, let alone having a house at all. A study released around the time of this installation found that a family of four making under $93,300 a year in Honolulu would be considered “low-income.” last months rent https://hillsideslides.com/eviction-notice Thu, 21 Jun 2018 02:45:45 +0000 Hillside Slides https://hillsideslides.com/eviction-notice Eviction Notice CONTACT Zone&nbsp; Honolulu Museum of Art School April 6-21, 2018 Beyond this unmarked gate in South Maui are Monsanto test fields.

Hawai‘i is the center of biocolonialism, a ‘contact zone’ between the experimental genetically engineered crops of multinational agrochemical seed corporations and Indigenous practices of sustainable agriculture.
