Contemporary Art Challenges Climate Issues
2009-10-26 13:54:23 未知
While politicians will gather at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, 26 trendsetting Nordic and international artists create new ways for the public and politicians to grasp the complicated climate issues.
Imagine a mountain moving to the beat of a seismograph, flying biospheres in the sky and hundreds of plastic bags with acid rain. What is it like when art merges with sounds from the Mexican jungle, satellite tracking data of the currently "most blue sky" or arctic birds?
Art's ability to inspire and give new perspectives is emphasised by the Danish Minister for Climate and Energy, Connie Hedegaard, who states:
"Art acts as a source of inspiration and initiate reflection. Naturally, I hope that some of the many politicians who come to Copenhagen for the climate conference in December will be inspired by the exhibition. However, it is also important that citizens get the opportunity to view the climate challenge from a cultural perspective"
