Global Warning: Scenes from a Planet under Pressure

In the last decade there have been extraordinary developments in sciences and technology advancement. Every day we are steps closer in finding ways to combat diseases. Who would of imagined 30 years ago, that we would have wireless internet, let alone mobiles?

It’s true that our generation is advancing at a rapid rate, but with all the remarkable breakthroughs, somehow we are unable to find solutions for problems that can be easily attained. For example, global warming, scientists and researchers have discovered solutions to combat against it. And yet, many of us still do not recycle and governments balance these issues with costs.

Let alone global warming, we are also facing problems with nuclear proliferation and recent shifts of demographics. Particular in Quebec, we have “Reasonable Accommodation”. When each of these issues is compounded on top of one another, there is a realization that our world is under pressure.

The question is what can we do about it? How can I make a difference? The answer is to get informed and be aware of what’s going on.

The Montreal Museum of Fine Art’s recent exhibition in their Contemporary Art section is, “Global Warning: Scenes from a Planet under Pressure”.

Stéphane Aquin, Curator of Contemporary Art at the MMFA, has presented us with extraordinary works by various artists dealing with the issues that our world is crossed with. Each piece is placed with one another, creating a story unfolding the truth of our existence, how we treat each other and the very world that we live in.

Admission to the permanent collection is always free. And of course a donation is always welcomed.

Take time to get informed, and listen up!

Love the World you are in.

Amour de Montreal.
