Risky Beauty: Aesthetics And Climate Change

Invitational Exhibition, Cynthia Haveson Veloric PhD curator
Main Line Art Center
September 6 - October 28, 2022

As the risks associated with climate change grow globally and locally, artists are exploring diverse methods to widen climate communication beyond the written word of scientists and journalists. The upcoming exhibition Risky Beauty: Aesthetics and Climate Change will showcase artwork in different media that draws in viewers with its sensual beauty, while stimulating awareness and changing perceptions. The exhibition will challenge viewers to consider how their aesthetic experience of nature might change in light of the scientific consensus about the validity of the climate crisis, the known societal forces that hasten environmental degradation, and the impact of climate change in their personal environments. Can the autonomist perspective of nature, which separates the inherent beauty and pleasure of nature from moral considerations, continue to have relevance in a disfigured and toxic world? The selected artwork frames landscape within the breakdown of ecosystems, over-developed land, loss of biodiversity, and extreme weather events. Each work will remind us of the fragility of nature and how its existence (and ours) is threatened by natural resource extraction, fossil fueled energy, light and air pollution, the military industrial complex, and non-biodegradable waste.
