Art & Climate Change


Art & climat


This project is part of the broader "Cultural Roots of Globlalization" project as climate and meteorology are per se planetary phenomena. Nowadays, many contemporary artists have raised the climate issue. It is possible to speak about an emergent trend within the art scene. Artistic approaches are multiple, going from music to installations, through films and photographies.

Within this project we would like to give a certain visibility to this trend and analyze artistic approaches and perceptions of climate and climate change. We live in a close relationship with climate phenomena but our intimate "weather report" is not always particulary developed. For example, the official weather report at television is of a rather "visual" nature. Therefore, it is possible to state that our meteorological sensitivity is still very rudimentary. Generally speaking, in our western societies the human being seems still to be interested in the weather we have rather than the weather we make. But at the same time contemporary artists and philosophers discover themselves as "pupils of the air" (Herder) and certain western societies begin to integrate the era of renewable energies.

Therefore, the project intends to discuss our experience and sensitivity of climate by developing common cross-questionings and by organizing encounters between artists, writers, philosophers, scientists, engineers.
