11th Hour Racing LivingGallery

11th Hour Racing’s LivingGallery provides a space and moment for visitors to slow down and see the hidden forms of life that keep our ecosystem healthy. Through a blend of traditional and “Living” artwork, the gallery reveals the intricate, often overlooked, connection between soil and water health. The subtle movement, sounds, and breathing of the gallery mirror the rhythms of nature. Each piece of artwork serves as a window into a hidden world where microbes, plants, and fungi are constantly at work.

The connection between soil and water health is also reflected in the partnership behind the gallery: two organizations, 11th Hour Racing and Ocean Hour Farm, each rooted in different areas of environmental stewardship, collaborating for healthy changes in the community.

Action Speaks

Taking climate action is no longer just the right thing to do for people and planet – it’s the only way we ensure a thriving business and economy for generations to come.

The good news is the case for action has never been clearer. We know from experience that by taking climate action we can reduce costs, create jobs, improve health and ensure we stay competitive. And many of the solutions are already in our hands. Now, we must enable implementation at speed and scale.

Explore our exhibition of 20 Climate Actions to The Nest Climate Campus in the Javits Center, along with an immersive climate experience and a collaborative programme. Dive into themes including: how we eat, move, power, make, finance, grow. Participating organizations include:  CompPair, MasterCard, Masungi Georeserve Foundation, Nordic SeaFarm, Ocean Bottle, Ocean 14 Capital, and SSAB!

Using a heat lamp to simulate the sun, you will get to use infrared thermometers to measure the insulative capabilities of various roofing materials. You will see firsthand how the sedum roof keeps the building cooler in the summer, dramatically cutting down on the need for air conditioning. In the winter the sedum acts as a natural thermal blanket, keeping the building warmer and reducing heating costs. Come see the difference for yourself and learn how the Javits Center’s world-renowned green roof works!
