Eight Degrees | Bildmuseet, Umeå

This exhibition brings together contemporary art exploring our complex relationships with the forest, ranging from ideas of an inviolable intrinsic value to the conception of something to be utilised, such as an economic asset or a space for recreation. What is a forest? And what pressing questions about it are relevant here and now?

Through photography, film, sculpture, drawing, textiles, sound and installations, artists, an architect and a storyteller invite us to reflect on the forest, observed and depicted from various perspectives and with diverse experiences. Their works provoke questions about tradition and future, forestry practices, land conflicts, biological diversity and the forest as a sacred space.

With works by Matti Aikio, Malin Arnell & Åsa Elzén, Gerd Aurell & Micael Norberg, Toms Kokins, Norrakollektivet (Anja Örn, Fanny Carinasdotter, Tomas Örn), Elia Nurvista, Edith Marie Pasquier, Jörgen Stenberg and Lena Ylipää.

Future Plants | ETH Zurich

The future of our plants is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. How do 15 artists respond to this current discourse and the future of plants? What is the future of plants and their interaction under the drought conditions of climate change? Should plants and production systems be redesigned or diversified for climate adaptation? Will they lose their nutrients? Can our soil, seeds, and water be preserved? In this exhibition, 15 well-known artists reflect on these questions together with researchers in the greenhouse of the SAE Sustainable Agroecology Group at ETHZ.

Chaleur Humaine | Dunkerque Triennale

Chaleur humaine, the second Art & Industry Triennial, will unfold over the second half of 2023 in Dunkirk and throughout the Hauts-de-France region. This year’s event will explore the issue of energy. To tackle this far-reaching topic, Triennial initiators and organizers the Frac Grand Large and the LAAC—collectively Le Pôle Art Contemporain de Dunkerque—have invited two independent exhibition curators: Anna Colin and Camille Richert, assisted by Henriette Gillerot. Their curatorial brief focuses on observing how energy challenges arising since the mid-1970s have impacted art, design and architecture, and, conversely, how these fields have shaped challenges, reflections and debates linked to energy, the environment and the planet. The wide ranging works on display will invite onlookers to discover practices linked to excess energy consumption; access to natural resources; issues related to sustainability and environmental responsibility; the transformation of landscapes and people’s relationships with their visible and perceptible surroundings; the ongoing tug-of-war between forces and fatigue in the living world; and the flow of data and energy.

The Glass City | Radius CCA, Delft

Located on the North Sea coast between Delft, The Hague, and Hook of Holland is a region where there are no seasons and the sky glows orange at night. This is the Westland: once an agglomeration of farming villages whose mild climate and clay soils made it home to grapevines and potato fields. The Westland is now the world’s largest continuous area of glasshouses, all 2,300 hectares of them. The grapes and potatoes have given way to high-tech agribusiness and intensive cultivation, mainly of fruit, vegetables, cut flowers, and ornamental plants. The exhibition THE GLASS CITY explores the Westland through the work of eight artists. It provides insights into the relationship between agriculture and technological innovation and transformation, the balance between natural and artificial, economy and ecology, and the future of food production.
