Art for Action / Changing Nature November 13, 2006

Greenpeace is proud to announce that our art competition, exhibition and auction, Art 4 Action, returns for its second year this November.

The ‘Changing Nature’ exhibition explores the profound changes being imposed on global and local natural places by climate change and technology. It invites considerations of the symbolic place of nature in our lives, how we shape our environment and how it shapes us? What does it mean to be human in a world where genetic engineering and nanotechnology are set to reshape our world gene by gene, atom by atom? What are the implications of humans changing the climate and altering the cycles of nature upon which life depends?

Through ‘Changing Nature 06’ artists breathe life and colour into the global warming debate and help us deliver the urgent message about the threat climate change poses to nature and humans.

Works included in the ‘Changing Nature 06’ exhibition will be auctioned at Gala Auction to be held beginning at 7pm on November 22nd 2006. To view the ‘Changing Nature 06’ online gallery click here (www.greenpeace.org.au/changing-nature).
