Everybody Talks About the Weather

Everybody Talks About the Weather explores the semantics of “weather” in visual art, taking atmospheric conditions as a point of departure to investigate the urgency of climate crisis. More than fifty works by contemporary artists and a complementary selection of historical artworks trace the various ways in which climate and weather have shaped our histories and how humanity has dealt with our everyday exposure to meteorological events. The exhibition design created by New York–based studio 2x4 will entwine the artistic dimension of the project with a series of in-depth scientific spotlights developed in collaboration with The New Institute Centre For Environmental Humanities (NICHE) at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice. Everybody Talks About the Weather was curated by Dieter Roelstraete.
