The World of Fire and Ice
15 September to 16 November 2024
The World of Fire and Ice uses the power of visual imagery to focus our attention on our energy use and industrial intrusions into wild nature. The exhibition begins in the distant past and takes us into the far future, but it mainly presents us with the issues of 'the now', from the melting of the polar ice caps to our efforts to reverse environmental harms due to our burgeoning energy use. The artists provoke us to learn more, not just about the fragility of nature or the sources of our energy, but our profound dependence upon them both.
The exhibition is thought-provoking, worrying and hopeful in equal terms, bringing together science, art and the need for whole-society action as the only route to solving the energy crisis.
