Art Not Oil sheds light and dark on BP Portrait Award, London, June-July 2006
* for creativity, climate justice and an end to oily sponsorship of the
arts *
Climate chaos is set to have a catastrophic effect on all of us, while
hitting the poorest hardest. Oil is a curse that also fuels war, poverty
and environmental destruction. Yet the companies most responsible are
profiting handsomely, and they are still welcome it seems in many of our
most prestigious public galleries and museums. Why?
Art Not Oil is an exhibition and a campaign, committed to showing powerful political/ecological art, to seeing an end to oil sponsorship of the arts, and to helping build movements for climate justice both here and throughout the world. As well as work that looks at the negative impacts of fossil fuels, we welcome work that looks at positive alternatives and solutions. Keep your art flowing in - turn your visions, nightmares, anger and hope into creative resistance!
June 11-24, 12-7pm: 491 Gallery, 491 Grove Green Road, E11 4AA, next to Leytonstone tube (Central line)
Look out also for interactions with the BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery.
June 29-July 1: The Foundry, 84-86 Great Eastern St, London EC2A 3JL, (Old Street tube)
