Climate Angels

 

The Lorne Sculpture Biennale was opened by the Climate Guardians who performed their remarkable and very beautiful ode to the atmosphere in front of hundreds of transfixed people on the Lorne foreshore. The Lorne Sculpture Biennale runs to 30 March.
 

Our recent forum at Deakin Edge, Art Climate Ethics: What Role for the Arts? was attended by an overflowing crowd of 450+ people and jointly won the Sustainable Living Festival's 'Best Forum Award' with US artist Chris Jordan. 

 

Media coverage of the forum included interviews on ABC Drive 774 with Rafael Epstein, Alex McCulloch: The Arts Show, and Hilary Harper on 774 Mornings. An article was published in Crikey's Daily Review and the Melbourne Review, and the forum was also filmed and can now be seen on YouTube.
 


The overwhelming attendance at the forum and subsequent enormous positive feedback demonstrate the high level of community interest in considering and encouraging the arts' engagement with these issues.

Love the Tarkine – Art inspired by the Tarkine

To Sunday, 16 March 2014 - 6:00pm at Salamanca Arts Centre, Hobart. The wonder and beauty of one of the most magnificent temperate rainforests left on Earth has inspired many. Now, it's been captured by a series of artists for all to enjoy.

There is also an Artists for the Tarkine fundraiser in May at Brightspace, St Kilda. Artists interested in contributing please contact Phillip Doggett Williams.

Melbourne artist Louise Paramor won the Lorne Sculpture Biennale Trail Sculpture Commission with The Wild Card #6 (polar). Is this the climate's wild card?
