The ‘Danger Global Warming’ Project.

8 Jul

The Danger Global Warming Project was set up to draw attention to the problem of Global Warming through the medium or art. It was organized by the multi-media art collective Blacksmoke in collaboration with Greenpeace. Artists were asked to incorporate Greenpeace’s black and yellow warning tape motif into artworks of any form they saw fit.

Paintings, videos and installations have been submitted from around the world. Those who have taken part range from unknown artists to big names like Philippe Starck, Bruce LaBruce and Billy Childish. Some of the artworks are great, others less so. The main thing however is that they make you think and hopefully they have enough of an effect on you to stick in your mind long after you see them.
