There's a new installation coming to the Highline Loft later this month, and it's a whale of an exhibit. 

Natalie Kates and Art Nerd New York's Lori Zimmer are curating the event, which will feature new original paintings by Beau Stanton and Logan Hicks as well as a reconstructed shipwreck and captain's study. 

The installation, entitled 'The Calm Before the Storm,' will launch October 17th and run until the 28th, open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

A nautical theme ties "The Calm Before the Storm" together, with specific attention dedicated to classical paintings, flood myths and nautical superstition. That is to say, there will be kracken. 

Stanton and Hicks, who both recently got their feet wet ornamenting surf boards for Juxtapoz Magazine's "Waves for Water" charity, are not dissimilar artists, though their styles differ greatly from one another.

Instead of simply rehashing tired oceanic motifs, Stanton and Hicks use different mediums to express their dreadful anxieties about environmental realities through nautical thrusts from the depths of the collective unconscious, as if climate change was reimagined as a giant squid.

Both artists have sought to intertwine classical themes and concepts of modernity for this exhibit.Not to mention, Luv Jones is bringing the sound of these fears to life with an original score. 

Stanton's going in a "divine-retribution-through-climate-change" direction while Hicks opts for something like a juxtaposition between Execution of Lady Jane Grey and our dependence on technology.
