ART and Climate Change? “Artists of everykind have one overridingmoral duty, whichis to do theirwork as well as possible. But sincethatworkpartlyconsists of responding to what the world itselfis up to, itwouldbestrange if the best workbeingproduceddidn’ttakesomeaccount, in someway, of what’s happening to ourclimate. Art is not only about beauty: sometimesit has to warn.” – Philip Pullman

Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker Anne – Teresa de Keersmaeker KeepingStill (2008) The Song (2009) 3 Abschied (2010)
KeepingStill (2008) ‘Wedecided on Mahler'sSong of the Earth (because of) the feelings whichthis music evoked in me of the desert and of emptiness. I hadwanted for a long time to make a piecewhichwould do justice to myconcernwith the planetand withwhatis happening to the planet. KeepingStill, part 1 gives an impetus to thinking about ecology. But I don't know whatwill come after.’ - Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker
The Song (2009) The Song (2009) The Song is a piecethatbespeaks the imminence of a time whenourever-increasing speed of change out-runsitself. In thisaccelerationtowardsstillness, as humans consume Earth's last remainingnaturalresources and the physical body as we know it races towardsitsown obsolescence, necessary radical shifts in momentum, direction and values question whatbelongs to the past and whatbelongs to the future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbJTpeO5DIo
