Art Basel in Basel&nbsp;2019, June 13

Let’s Talk About the Weather

false

In recent years, more and more artists and institutions are using their platforms to address environmental issues: ocean pollution, climate change, the melting of the polar ice-caps. But is this increasing interest only a trend, or is it possible for artists and their artworks, as well as institutions and their programs, to have a positive impact on our relationship with nature? This panel will involve artists and institutional figures whose focus lies on ecology, asking them to elaborate on their relationship to the subject matter, and on the ability of their work to improve our planet's condition.
