and so we had a meeting... last night.. and it poured but that was fine

next post photos of the meeting


these images are from the CAFA students who spent three months thinking about sustainibility and climate change, and this exhibition was the result.
This image of the Mona Lisa was in fact a video, moving image with an actress - an interpretation of what would happen with climate change. fairly soon she was sitting in the rain, shivering and shivering. So cool!

The Beijing Flower of Sustainibility, in plastik fantastik!


This isn't such a great shot of what was a really nice part of the results of the residency .. one could take a button and there were some blank ones that we could write on. I wrote "kia kaha" on one, and took one that I cannot read! But it looks fabulous!!

This installation was about possibilities of reducing climate change and global warming, by Indonesian artsist Andreas Siagian.
from Bulgarian artist Petko Dourmana



The Dialogue on Arts and Climate Change was a very creative meeting of like minded souls - even though we were artists, architects, designers, performing artists, scientists and environmentalists.

The first day of meetings took place at CAFA- The Chinese Academy of Fine Art.. it was so amazing to be there, on a very beautiful autumn day. Worthy of special note was their extremely well-stocked art supplies shop! We brought a lot of guff back here with us.

The image above is the Beijing Flower of Sustainibility, the gorgeous result of the residency of German artist Insa Winkler and Danish philosopher Oleg Koeford with the students at CAFA.
