The MSU Museum presents "1.5° Celsius" now through Feb. 25, 2023. The exhibition and its supporting programs imagine new ways of addressing the social and environmental issues connected to the global climate crisis. There is a public opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m., Sept. 9.
Through the contributions of national and international artists, scientists and researchers, the exhibition addresses the global climate crisis across three key themes. These themes focus on the interdependence of all life, imagined futures, and sustainable solutions to combat the global climate crisis.
“We’re pleased to present this exhibition exploring one of the most urgent issues of our time,” said MSU Museum director and curator Devon Akmon. “It reinforces our new mission, strategic plan, and work towards serving our communities as a creative collaboratory.”
After reviewing over 175 open call submissions from around the world, the curatorial team selected 15 exhibits to include in the exhibition. Contributors include artists, researchers, and scientists from across the United States, The Netherlands, Japan, Russia and the United Kingdom. "1.5° Celsius" was curated by the MSU Museum’s new CoLab Studio. A division for innovation, the Studio’s timely and relevant programs are designed to be novel, transient and experimental.
