Watch the glacier disappear
Furkastrasse 341, 3999 Oberwald
The project "Look how the glacier is disappearing" has its starting point at the Rhone Glacier.duration of the exhibition: from July 12 - September 29, 2024
The exhibition is open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12.00 to 16.00.
After a five-year preparatory phase, artist Carmen Perrin was joined by architect Georges Descombes, engineer Jürg Conzett and musician Jacques Demierre. The project focuses on the glacier, which has been severely damaged by global warming and will be covered with geotextile tarpaulins to enable it to be used for tourism.
A new approach is proposed: recognizing the visible signs of glacier retreat and viewing it as not inevitable.
This takes various forms:
Exhibition at the Hotel Glacier du Rhône: Carmen Perrin presents her research in the form of a journal.Musical visit: Jacques Demierre's composition "Echoing" is interpreted by three voices at the vernissage.Guided trails: Jürg Conzett and Georges Descombes lead visitors to the traces of the vanished glacier, where new forms of life can be discovered.Further information: Art For Glaciers - Accueil info@artforglaciers.ch
