A Minute to Midnight
December 7, 2024 @ 10:00 AM – March 1, 2025 @ 5:00 PM
The Doomsday Clock was developed in 1947 as an indicator to show how close humanity is to destruction. Then it was set at seven minutes to midnight. The hands are currently set at 90 seconds to midnight, indicating how much closer the planet is to disaster.
Human activities such as burning fossil fuel to power factories, for transport and to heat our homes release carbon dioxide. Scientists have observed Earth’s surface is warming as a result. This is Climate Change.
For this exhibition we have invited five artists based in the north-west of England to show works which consider the climate emergency, and their role as artists in relation to this. Featuring thought-provoking work by Rebecca Chesney, Antony Hall, Mishka Henner, Adele Jordan and Rae Story.
