Liverpool Becoming: The Writing On The Wall #5
This artwork is a temporary poetic/performance/artwork (created in Gaia Cabinet) and is the fifth in The Writing On The Wall series .This work is dedicated to the memory and legacy of Professor Tony Bradshaw (1926-2008), a true scientist and creative ecologist.
With notable exceptions, the climate change discourse is largely science led. Some scientists (Meadows et al 1995, Lovelock 2005, Diamond 2005), argue that global warming has passed the ‘tipping point’ and society should prepare for collapse, as a form of ‘ecological resilience’ (Walker 2006). Addressing these issues, this ecological artwork alludes to Darwin (1859), Rembrandt (1635) and the Books of Daniel and Ecclesiastes, to consider the end of the Holocene epoch, society’s ineptitude and evolutionary perturbation caused by climate change. The form of this poetic/visual/performative artwork offered means of communication normally unavailable to science.
The Pool of Life: The Writing On The Wall #6
This artwork is a temporary poetic/performance/artwork and is the sixth in the series of such works by ecological artist and Senior Research Fellow, David Haley. It was commissioned by Gaia Project for their Urban Ecology programme of art, contributing to the Independents, Liverpool Biennial 08. The wall was kindly made available by Landlife, National Wildflower Centre, Court Hey Park, Liverpool.
The artwork has been rendered in charcoal directly onto the wall surface and is written in form of an extended ‘haiku’ style poem, of twenty lines. The process of writing represents a simple performative act and the itself writing will last as long as the elements permit. This work resonates with Liverpool Becoming: The Writing On The Wall #5 at Gaia Cabinet.
