			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Greenhouse Britain: Losing Ground, Gaining Wisdom</em> will be exhibited in New York at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts (10 January - 7 February 2009) alongside other of the Harrisons works concerning Global Warming.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;There is a gentle beauty in their work, and much charisma in the otherworldly maps and text panels that are poetic and personal rather than dryly official. The exhibition is, of course, a call to action, but it is foremost a lyrical meditation on what ecological disaster and collective recovery might one day look like.&#8221; Elizabeth Mahoney, The Guardian, 2008</p></blockquote>

This exhibition dramatically addresses the environmental, political and economic challenges of rising sea levels caused by climate change.  The central feature will be a multimedia video projection onto a giant relief model of mainland Britain.  We will see the waters gradually redraw the coastline. </font></font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.2cm"><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 11pt" size="2">The exhibition will tour across England from November 2007 to March 2008 including venues in Devon, London, Shrewsbury, Manchester, Bristol and Lancaster (see below for details).  A rolling programme of events will coincide with the tour.</font></font></font></p>

It is the guiding metaphor for this work‘The oceans will rise gracefully. Can we withdraw with equal grace?’“</font></font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.2cm"><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 11pt" size="2">Taking three key river watersheds, the Avon, the Mersey and the Lee in East London, the artists imagine the challenges of defending the land and withdrawing from the rising waters.</font></font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0.2cm"><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 11pt" size="2">For nearly forty years, the Harrisons have been leaders in the ecological arts movement. Past projects have involved collaborative dialogues with politicians, scientists, planners and communities and focused on watershed restoration, urban renewal, agriculture, forestry and global warming.  Their visionary works sometimes come into being, on the ground.</font></font></font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Climate change is the biggest challenge faced by the human race.</p>
<p>Artists Helen Mayer and Newton Harrison have been addressing this challenge through their work for over 35 years.  Now, supported by DEFRA, they are creating a new work, GREENHOUSE BRITAIN: Losing Ground, Gaining Wisdom.</p>
<p>This new publication sets out project and the concepts behind the work.</p>
<p>The Harrisons argue that “the Greenhouse phenomenon is so urgent, so compelling in the near term, so potentially catastrophic in the long term, and so obviously destabilizing to the environment, that we strongly believe the Greenhouse discourse is vital and will benefit from the voice of culture, particularly the disciplines of visual, conceptual and ecological arts.”</p>
<p>Helen Mayer and Newton Harrison believe that the present cultural landscape is largely formed by the dominant cultures of a place.  They believe that places are the result of stories we tell each other.  Stories also compete with each other.  In this work the Harrisons set out to create a new story of a place, the island of Britain, as a response to global warming and the rising of the seas.</p>
<p>Helen Mayer and Newton Harrison are pre-eminent ecological artists.  Professors Emeritus of the University of California at San Diego, the Harrisons have exhibited all over the world.  The Harrisons&#8217; last UK work, &#8216;Casting A Green Net: Can It Be We Are Seeing A Dragon?&#8217; for ArtTranspennine98, still stands as an iconic vision for sustainable development across Northern England.</p>
<p>The publication is available to purchase from the Harrison Studio &amp; Associates (Britain) for £10/$20/€20 (plus p&amp;p), or to download as a pdf file.</p>
