Exhibition: How is the Weather

"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows", Bob Dylan

Dramatic weather is everywhere, affecting our lives, more than ever before.  We just experienced the hottest average temperature ever recorded on Earth. Heavy, blinding fog, smoke from forest fires and incessant smog fill the air. We have had record sleet and snowfall this year, giving us dangerous swollen rivers late into summer. 

Topicality is OCCCA's forte, and the extreme weather caused by climate change has become an existential threat to our planet now. From Rembrandt and Turner to Gerhart Richter's Secrets of Clouds, for centuries, artists have been interpreting the weather in their art. Now is the time for artists to make a statement.
