Indicators: Artists on Climate Change will present work in a variety of media by over a dozen artists, including works newly created for the exhibition at Storm King. Illuminating the threats of a changing climate on a biological, personal, cultural, microcosmic, and macrocosmic scale, these artists will reveal how the acts of making and viewing art differ in both approach and effect from research, advocacy, and reportage.
Works in the exhibition will explore the impacts of a changing climate in ways that incorporate scientific, cultural, and aesthetic perspectives. Through a wide variety of works and artistic media, the exhibition will demonstrate how art can command attention for difficult subjects and spur creative thought, solutions, and ideas in ways that elude other means of communication and understanding.
