REsolve: a Creative Approach to the Circular Economy
26 February 2022 - 8 May 2022
Curated by artist-curator Mella Shaw, REsolve showcases the work of contemporary artists, designers and makers, and encourages new perspectives on resources, waste and how we live.
Fife Contemporary is delighted to present REsolve: a Creative Approach to the Circular Economy as part of our commitment to put the climate emergency at the heart of our programming.
Curated by artist-curator Mella Shaw, this exhibition will showcase the work of contemporary artists, designers and makers and encourage new perspectives on resources, waste and how we live. It will take place at Kirkcaldy Galleries from 26 February to 8 May 2022.
The objects on show will challenge expectation, spark dialogue and reveal an innovative and explorative approach to materials that is essential for our transition away from our current take-make-waste economy. From salvaged building materials to the by-products of beer-making, in the hands of these creative practitioners everything has value to be unlocked. An alternative and hopeful future is discussed through adoption of the themes of the circular economy, as well as celebrating the craftsmanship and creativity necessary for moving towards a sustainable, zero carbon future.
Artists include Sarah Calmus, Chalk Plaster, Stefanie Ying Lin Cheong, Draff Studio, Paul Eames, Helen Grundy, Sara Howard, Janet Hughes, Hannah Imlach, Deirdre Nelson, Carol Sinclair and Daniel Svahn.
