| Description | Art of Climate Change Tickets: Price varies at venues subject to availability tell a friend The High Arctic stands at the front line of climate change. Cape Farewell's international team of artists and climate scientists has made three expeditions to this remote, frozen world, sailing on a 100 year old schooner, the Noorderlicht. The team conducted oceanography experiments and gained artistic inspiration from this fragile ice-bound environment. The aim of the project is to address the burning issue of climate change by providing first hand accounts and data, and produce artworks that provide a human scale for a problem that often seems too huge to comprehend. The Cape Farewell exhibition celebrates the research and artwork that has evolved from this arctic adventure and aims to engage and inspire the audience through the commitment, hard work and inspiration of the artists involved. The range of participants include artists David Buckland, Antony Gormley, Heather Ackroyd, Alex Hartley, Gary Hume, Rachel Whiteread, Ian McEwan (author) and scientists Dr. Valborg Byfield, Dr. Simon Boxall, Dr. Tom Wakeford and Sarah Fletcher.
