- Yet another spam-article from some wierdoes and their fringe-craziness propaganda.
Cape Farewell brings artists, scientists and communicators together to bring about long-term change in cultural attitudes towards climate change.
Created by artist David Buckland in 2001, Cape Farewell has led seven expeditions to the High Arctic, the frontline of climate change including two youth expeditions. From these expeditions has sprung an extraordinary body of artwork:
- An exhibition curated with the Natural History Museum and now on tour with the Barbican Art Gallery, International Department. The exhibition comprises a range of media including photographic work, video, installations, and prints from a selection of leading contemporary artists including Antony Gormley, Rachel Whiteread, Alex Hartley and the novelist Ian McEwan. The exhibition was last shown in Tokyo during the G8 meetings (July 2008) where it was opened by Sarah Brown, wife of Gordon Brown.
- A film co-produced by the BBC Art from a Changing Arctic
- A book Burning Ice
- The CD ARCTIC by Max Eastley [1]
- Educational resources for GCSE Geography and Science
- A UN award-winning website
- Ongoing arts and events programme.
The project is widely acknowledged[attribution needed] to be the most significant sustained artistic response to climate change anywhere in the world.
