“Artists, by their sensitivity and particular awareness, can be mediators of this perception concerning the fragility of humanity and of the planet” Christopher Miles, Vice General Secretary of the French Ministry of Culture and Communication

Today, a movement that combines social change and creativity is emerging across the globe. The 21st United Nations Conference on climate change, held in Paris from November 30th to December 11th 2015, is a decisive step towards negotiating a future international agreement in the fight against climate change. But it is also an opportunity like no other to promote before the general public and political representatives other ways of understanding the complexity of the climate challenge through a multitude of creative and innovative approaches.

In 2015, now more than ever, culture is involved in the political agenda, acting like a stakeholder in negotiations on climate change. Through ArtCOP21, culture confirms its central role in ecological transition and sustainable development.

The Conferences of the Parties (COP) are technical events practically inaccessible for the uninitiated. The negotiations focus on figures, quotas and financial investments. This exclusively political and scientific approach causes citizen disengagement, even a feeling powerlessness and inaction if the real culture of change is absent. The ecological transition is the opportunity for a new era in which artists and the cultural world participate by inventing new stories, new representations, other ways to produce, to perceive and think.

Radical Action Reaction (RAR) is an art project proposed by the duo of internationally renowned artists Ackroyd & Harvey for ArtCOP21, in an extension of their work Beuys’ Acorns based on the renaissance of 7000 planted oaks in Kassel in 1982 by the artist Joseph Beuys.

On November 29th at the Jardin des Plantes, a monumental art installation of a magnificent tree will be unveiled in front of a curtain of living grass to open COP21. It celebrates the role of trees in the adaption of urban spaces in response to climate change. The symbolic tree will join the Arboretum at the National Museum of Natural History, acting as a catalyst for a series of public plantations and responses in a cultural network committed to increasing awareness of climate issues.

In autumn 2015, the Beuys’ Acorns piece - composed of one hundred oak saplings sprung from the acorns of Beuys’ trees – will be exhibited in national theatres of Bordeaux, Lyon, Mulhouse, Nantes, Nice, Tourcoing. Each exhibition will be accompanied by conferences and debates concerning adaptation to climate change.

This installation and interactive work highlights the urgent need for reflection about the role of humans in a fragile environment and society where climate refugees are increasingly numerous. Universal Passport Antarctica was designed by artists to encourage every human being to become a member of World Community Antarctica, allowing them to act for the protection of the environment on a global scale.

At the Grand Palais, within the COP21 Solutions framework, Lucy + Jorge Orta have created a full-size monument replica of a passport distribution office. Each visitor will be issued a passport and invited to sign a commitment charter.

With over 60,000 copies of passports currently in circulation, the objective of this work is to encourage citizens to take part in protecting threatened environments against climate change and bring peace.

“The air is invisible. We can neither see nor touch it which means we show little interest in it. But it is important to be more aware of what is happening with our air and discuss it” Andrea Polli

Particle Falls is both an aesthetic work and a pollution sensor in public spaces, allowing passers-by to determine real-time air quality with its level of fine particles thanks to spectacular digital and light installation. Particle Falls will be projected onto the front of the Mona Bismarck American Centre building.

Andrea Polli was one of ten artists nominated for the Art et COAL Environment Prize in 2011. This project was suggested to ArtCOP21 by COAL.

From virtual to reality, artist Naziha Mestaoui invites us to share the experience of One Heart One Tree, an outstanding application through which the beating of our hearts is used to power a tree. A specialist in visual and sound projections, the Belgian-Tunisian artist Naziha Mestaoui has created a spectacular work of art that will transform the capital into a forest of light during COP21.

At the point where virtual and real coincide, this project is primarily a citizen project. One Heart One Tree intends to establish, via a smartphone app, a virtual tree that will be symbolically projected onto major monuments across the capital, including the Eiffel Tower. Each virtually designed tree will have a tangible impact, since it will lead to the planting of a totally unique, registered and real-life tree.

This tree will be planted through reforestation projects taking place across the five continents producing a series of positive social and environmental initiatives. Planting a tree captures CO2, cleans the air and water, regenerates biodiversity and produces natural fertilizers. Through One Heart One Tree, the goal is to plant millions of trees! The distance between reality and virtuality is bridged by this fantastic innovation. At the heart of this project is the intention for technology to reconnect us with nature.

A new urban forest participation project in the Paris, Plaine Commune and Seine Saint-Denis areas will increase the flora density in urban environment.

Change! Forest Republic is an “Ecosystem Project” creating a forest that will produce several thousand trees in the next two years for planting in urban wastelands. A collaborative and participatory project, it will involve several thousand adults and children, drawing their attention to the consequences of global warming on the region.

The objective of this project is to bring together all the conditions needed to create a new green lung and urban forest in the Paris, Plaine Commune and Seine-Saint-Denis areas.

Olivier Darné won the COAL Art & Environment Prize 2012 for his project la Banque de Reines (Bank of Queens).

Stefan Shankland develops what he calls a ‘High Artistic and Cultural Quality’ approach in Aubervilliers around the worksites extending line 12 of the Metro, causing Aubervilliers market to be reorganised. The HQAC approach helps to anchor the local presence in debates on territorial transformation, metropolitan migration, urban deterioration and climate change. It takes shape spring 2015 with the construction of the Ferragus Moutier-pass; at once a garden open to the public, street furniture, an outdoor exhibition space and temporary work of art (2015-2017).

For COP21, the HQAC team will set up a program of public restorations as part of Auberflux interactive research and inspire new ways of working with residents of a city undergoing such transformation.

Stefan Shankland was awarded the Prix COAL Art & Environment 2011 for his Marble d’ici (Marble from here) project currently visible as part of the “Habiter” (Living) exhibition at the departmental Domain of Chamarande (shared Commissioner COAL).

Tania Kovats Lovelock Art Commission 1830 Warehouse Space, Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester

October 22nd, 2015 - March 27th, 2016

On the 22nd October 2015, Cape Farewell will launch the second Lovelock Art Commission at the Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester.

The Lovelock programme invites artists to respond to scientist James Lovelock’s Gaia hypothesis of the earth as an interconnected super-organism. This year, internationally acclaimed artist Tania Kovats explores our relationship with the world’s seas and oceans in a brand new art installation ‘Evaporation’.

Comprising of three large-scale steel bowls reflecting the shape of the oceans lifted from the globe, each with their own ‘tide’. Each bowl contains a solution of salt and blue ink, which gradually heats and evaporates in a hydro-cycle, leaving a jewel-like crust of salt crystals in concentric rings. Works created from an equivalent evaporation process will also be displayed across the space. Alongside this work will be ‘All the Seas’ – a global postal engagement project to collect samples of each of the earth’s 300+ seas.

Tania’s work will also contribute to a special choral commission by renowned BBC Proms ‘Gaia’ composer Jonathan Dove. The world permiere of ‘The Wave’ will be be performed by musicians and performers from the Northern Royal College of Music in the heart of the gallery space on the 25th October 2015.

This show promises to be a moving celebration and exploration of the huge diversity – and enormous importance – of the seas and their crucial function as a barometer of the earth’s health.

The association was established in 2008 by professionals in contemporary art, sustainable development and research in the common goal of promoting a true culture of ecology. In a multidisciplinary and innovative spirit, COAL mobilizes artists and cultural operators with regards to social and environmental issues in partnership with institutions, NGOs, scientists and businesses, supporting creation and culture to increase awareness and implement concrete solutions. These Reconciliations between culture, art, ecology and sustainable development are now the subject of a major international movement in which COAL participates as the principal French participant. In 2015, COAL becomes a member of IMAGINE2020, the first EU cooperation network on Art and Climate Change.

Since 2012, COAL has been associated with the Domaine Departmental programming of Chamarande around Sustainable Culture: two exhibitions per year, dozens of outdoor installations, artists’ residences, a rich program of cultural actions for the public attention that has already seen more than 300 000 visitors. On October 11th 2015 for the Science Festival, the Domaine of Chamarande and COAL will launch the first laboratory dedicated to sustainable culture.

In 2015, COAL will become an official invited to the European Centre of Contemporar y Ar t ist ic Actions in Strasbourg for the 2015-2016 season et the artistic director of Stuwa, a new Art and Nature agenda of Sundgau.

From 2011 to 2013, COAL collaborated with the Ministry of Ecology, of sustainable development and energy to develop a national strategy of citizen mobilization. In this time, COAL notably created ressource0.com, the first media to create a catalogue of art related to ecology, gathering thousands of contributors and information.

Since 2009, the COAL Art and Environment Prize each year invites personalities of art and ecology to reward one of the involved. Over 1000 projects by international artists addressing ecological issues have been collected, revealing the magnitude of this new culture.

In 2010 COAL directed the “Brut Nature” exhibition proposed by WWF in parks and gardens of the City of Paris for the International year of biodiversity, which was attended by more than 500 000 people.

Every year COAL organizes a cycle of lectures The Art and Science of Nature with the FIAC and the National Museum of Natural History for FIAC Outside the Walls

Since 2001, Cape Farewell has worked internationally to unite artists, scientists, communicators and leaders to develop a creative organisation that acts as a catalyst change. Cape Farewell invites artists, writers, musicians and directors to develop a creative language reflecting the urgency of climate challenge. Using creativity to innovate, Cape Farewell today demonstrates ten years of experience engaging the public in the crucial dialogue on climate change. It is time to find solutions together to the greatest challenge of our time. Cape Farewell, as an indispensible and enthusiastic adventurer, invents a future better than the present. In 2013, Cape Farewell collaborated with scientific and cultural participants addressing the effects of climate change and presented an exhibition and festival “Carbon 14: Climate is culture “, which was attended by more than 2 million people. In the “Carbon 14” program, the scientist environmentalist David Suzuki took part in a sham trial to discuss the threat of climate change and man’s responsibility.

Inspired by his trip to the Arctic in 2005 with Cape Farewell, Ian McEwan wrote the award-winning novel Solar. The book has sold 400,000 copies and has been hailed as “the book of our time “by the New York Times. In 2005, Cape Farewell produced Art from the Arctic, a documentary aired

on BBC 2 and BBC World viewed by 11 million people.
