Barricading the Ice Sheets is an exhibition by artist Oliver Ressler in the context of his eponymous research focused on climate justice movements. The exhibition incorporates a selection of new and existing works in a contextually calibrated presentation of the wider research that constitutes the project. Barricading the Ice Sheets at The Showroom investigates climate breakdown, climate justice and activist movements and the relation of the latter to the arts.
Barricading the Ice Sheets is supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF: AR 526). The exhibition at The Showroom is supported by Phileas: The Austrian Office for Contemporary Art and BMKOES: The Austrian Ministry of the Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport. The Showroom is supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
