I found this exhibition really interesting but wanted to find out more. On their website they have some great talks about the work, artists and culture of the exhibition and i really recommend taking out a few hours to have a look!

High Tide - at Liverpool John Moores University

'High Tide' is an exhibition showing 12 UK based artists with work based around issues of flooding, rising sea levels which links in with climate change. This is a popular issue at the moment so is a subject that really interests me. The artists involved were: Agata Alcaniz, James Brandy, Stuart Carter, David Haley, Gordon Maclellen, Jaqueline McCormick, Janette Porter, Tim Pugh, Scott Thurston, Elizabeth Willow and Robyn Woolston.

In a way the artists in this exhibition have looked to the future using art instead of science to try and predict what is going to happen in later years. I think its a great idea to use art to get a message across in a new and creative way.

The picture above is a piece from the exhibition i loved. It looks natural yet man made and reflects on the damages men have done to the planet. I love installations that are on the floor which made this exhibition flow from one piece to the other.

This exhibition shows that collaborations have a high creativity. More heads = more ideas and knowledge. Collaboration is a thing i haven't fully experienced yet so would be a good idea to rope in some of my friends and get feedback on my work and here their ideas and just get people involved!! The more people involved, the more people are likely to know about what your doing and may get involved themselves. It does show connections in the art world will pay off.
