Water. We are facing unprecedented challenges around the globe. In the next 100 years, the ocean will change more than in the past 50 million years. Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising dramatically, and pollutants are constantly flowing into our streams from industry. The importance of water often goes no further than its utilitarian value, but what about humanistic, moral, emotional, aesthetic and ethical values? These remain unjustly below the waterline.
With the Faces of Water exhibition, Bozar is zooming in on recent research and artistic creations by four artists: Theresa Schubert, Joshua G. Stein, Haseeb Ahmed and Anna Ridler. The works presented in the exhibition are the results of S+T+ARTS residencies hosted by LUCA School of Arts, Gluon and Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto, with the support of their local ecosystem of partners. During the residency they investigated some region-specific water challenges.
