Res.o.lu.tion
A permanent exhibition aboard the National Geographic Resolution
Working with the artist and curator, Zaria Forman, Dialog Arts oversaw the commissioning of 300 site-specific new works responding to the theme of climate change. The works are now permanently integrated into a custom-built expedition ship designed to travel to both poles.
Res.o.lu.tion invites audiences to see our choices as they are reflected onto the ice and snow, urging us to speculate on the future through the lenses of history and myth. It reveals how the fight for climate action and social justice are deeply intertwined, shedding light on the intricate connections between environmental and social issues. Artworks ask us to consider the meaning of our choices, actions, and determinations—past, present, large, and small—for the polar regions and the planet as a whole. When we recognise our link to a shared threat, new possibilities for connection and collaboration emerge. The artworks below are included in the permanent exhibition.
