ART & SCIENCE OF SUSTAINABILITY
IF museums won't talk about the issues of sustainability, who will? Executive director of ArtScience Museum Honor Harger says: "It's always been a subject very close to our hearts. In order to address the critical environmental challenges that the world faces, we need both the emotional connections created through art, and the understanding generated by science."
Living Yangtze by Eric Valli for Swarovski Waterschool is one of the three eco-themed exhibitions that comprise The Art and Science of Sustainability at the ArtScience Museum. Featuring over 96 photographs and seven short documentary films, the body of work was developed over a six-month period where film director, photographer and author Eric Valli travelled along the 6,300-kilometre Yangtze River in hopes of documenting the lives of communities there.
