Exhibition of Visual Art
Visual art in response to sustainability.
Visual artists, principally from the National Institute of the Arts, have materialised ideas about the environment that have been formulated in discussions with scientists from the National Institute for Environment. The exhibition aims to engage people both emotionally and intellectually in consideration of the need to reduce energy and material consumption by a factor of ten if Australia is to achieve a future worth having. The gallery is now open - take a look at what to expect when you come to the exhibition! |
