Art for the Environment

Art for the Environment, curated by Camilla Palestra, presents work from six artists whose practice explores the nature of human impact on our environment. Following the international residency programme Art for the Environment (AER) – set up by acclaimed artist Professor Lucy Orta at the University of the Arts London – the exhibition presents, for the first time, a selection of work created from past residencies, including film, sound and interactive installation. Established in 2015, the AER programme invites artists and designers to explore concerns that define the twenty-first century – including biodiversity, environmental sustainability, social economy and human rights – and through artistic practice, envision a world of tomorrow. The exhibition sees six past AER residents combine to create a powerful presentation that probes preconceptions and concerns around the environment.

The accompanying exhibition event programme includes opportunities for visitors to investigate the possibilities of art for the environment, including hands-on workshops, recording sessions and discussions.

Exhibiting artists, followed by their AER residency hosts are: Annabel Duggleby (Hauser & Wirth, Somerset 2017, UK); Magz Hall (Yorkshire Sculpture Park 2015, UK); Nana Maiolini (Joya: arte + ecología 2016, Spain); Noemi Niederhauser (Fondazione Berengo Murano, Venice 2015, Italy); Matt Parker (Joya: arte + ecología 2016, Spain); and Matteo Valerio (Fondazione Zegna 2016, Italy).
