CLIMATE2+

klima2+ was opened by Climate and Environment Minister Sveinung Rotevatn on 24 June 2020, at 11.30 am.

The event was also streamed due to the corona situation.

See the opening program!

The collaboration with artists, who are committed to the environment and climate, opens the door to explore how artistic perspectives and sensitivity can mobilize our visitors in empathetic and unexpected ways. The exhibition project thus brings together scientific perspectives, insights from critical humanities and art.

Here you will find an overview of the artworks and artists represented in the exhibition. 

The Heat Treatment

Bianca Hlywa's film The Heat Treatment documents conservation workers at the museum, tracking how the process of heat treatment evolved from past practices using toxic insecticides to treat objects.

Visual notes from a changing environment

By Lila Zotou

This photographic work originates in the urban landscape on the outskirts of Oslo, around the enormous area that is Groruddalen. The artist wants to show that large-scale development projects like this do not welcome individual changes, and have the potential to alienate people from nature and eventually from each other.

Soli Statera

By Julie Henning

The photo book raises questions about what we can all do to make a difference in the climate fight, whether it is growing food for our own consumption or using our consumer power to choose sustainable alternatives.

Tracks 1 & 2

By Ingunn O. Myrland

Tracks 1 and 2 are inspired by melting glaciers and soil erosion; natural processes that are occurring today to a greater extent and with greater force than before, as a consequence of human actions and man-made climate change.

Cornwall & Unexpected Findings

By Ulla Schildt

The projects reflect on man's need to control and use nature: We have left irrevocable marks on the environment and nature, and changes in animal populations and climate have enormous consequences that are difficult to control.
