to 20 Jun

Artivist

This exhibition brings together artists who speak out through their work against environmental destruction, human rights violations, social inequality, and every silenced cry. There are no limits to the subject: the vanishing of a forest, the muted voice of a body, the tear beyond a border, a child’s lost toy, a woman’s withheld scream...All of these can find a place here.

Artivist invites those who believe that art carries not just aesthetic, but ethical weight. Because sometimes a single image, a word, or a trace can make the loudest noise.

Ocean with David Attenborough - Ecoartivist exhibition andf Talk

Overview

We are very proud to be hosting an exhibition and talk by eco-artivist Francesca Busca, who transforms waste into sustainable artworks to protest disposable lifestyles and inspire systemic re-thinking. Part of our FOOTPRINTS environmental strand.

For more screenings of OCEAN, without
a talk by Francesca Busca, please see here.

D
avid Attenborough delivers his greatest message of hope in a spectacular new film. Coinciding with David Attenborough’s 99th birthday, the release of Ocean is an unmissable cinema event.

Ocean with David Attenborough takes viewers on a breathtaking journey showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival, more full of life, wonder, or surprise, than the  ocean. In the film the celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker reveals how his lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean, Attenborough shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing.

Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonder of life under the seas and exposes the realities and challenges facing our ocean as never-before-seen, from destructive fishing techniques to mass coral reef bleaching. Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.

For Your Convenience

to 12 Dec

For Your Convenience

‘Convenience Culture’ is an often overlooked subsect of twenty-first-century consumerism. It is defined as a societal shift towards a convenient lifestyle, which prioritises a lack of personal exertion over the consequential impacts this choice will have. This manifests in every aspect of modern life, often by no fault of the consumers, impacting everything from the purchases we make, to the food we consume. Through this exhibition, we seek to question the motivation behind these choices, and raise questions about the impact that ‘Convenience Culture’ is having on the world around us.

ISMAR’s Project Maelstrom @ the Venice Boat Show 2024

ISMAR’s Project Maelstrom @ the Venice Boat Show 2024

2 weeks’ residency at the Institute of Marine Sciences in Venice, working on Project Maelstrom.

“MAELSTROM designs, manufactures and integrates scalable, replicable and automated technologies co-powered with renewable energy and second-generation fuel, to identify, remove, sort and transform all types of collected marine litter into valuable raw materials.

The project brings together 14 partners including research centers, recycling companies, NGOs, marine scientists and robotic experts from 8 European countries.” (https://www.maelstrom-h2020.eu/ )

Another aspect of this initiative is to divulge scientific knowledge about the state of our seas through art, and this is what I am invited to do. My project is to make artworks in loco using both the waste recovered from their sea platform Acqua Alta and their boat Gaia Blu, and that produced in their labs, whilst interacting with visitors and occasional collaborators - who are required to be vegan for the whole day! Also part of my artivism.

These artworks will then stay as a permanent installation in their stunning building at the Arsenale.
