(Un)Inhabitable? Art of Extreme Environments - Festival @rt Outsiders 2009

09 September 2009 - 11 October 2009
Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris, Group Exhibition
France

The 2009 edition of the @rt Outsiders Festival —celebrating this year its tenth anniversary—focuses on extreme environments.These are environments that were, until recently, uninhabited by human beings and that contemporary science and technology turn into "inhabitable" places (Antarctica, underwater world, outer space, deserts); but also those that are becoming "uninhabitable" due to the impacts of our way of life (pollution, technological accidents, economical pressures and global warming).

"(Un)Inhabitable? – Art of Extreme Environments" presents works that explore the meaning of living in extreme environments, in the imaginary realm as well as in the physical one, in the political, social and environmental fields as well as in the poetic ones.

Antarctica World Passport signing: Wednesday, October 7th, from 5pm.
