SUMMARY:The Extinction Collection Norwich
DESCRIPTION:This December\, the ‘Extinction’ exhibition comes to Norwich\, offering a profound artistic exploration of climate change and its devastating effects. \nThe exhibition includes sculpture and photography by sixteen distinguished artists: Richard Deacon\, Emily Young\, David Nash\, Peter Randall-Page\, Jon Foreman\, Eleanor Lakelin\, Julian Stair\, Conrad Shawcross\, Sebastião Salgado\, Richard Mosse\, Beverly Joubert\, Michael Kenna\, Daniel Beltra\, Andy Goldsworthy\, Michael Pinsky\, and Bigert & Bergström. \nTen works have been inspired by Norfolk\, featuring fossils\, artefacts or materials from Happisburgh\, the home of Explorers Against Extinction in Norfolk. \nHappisburgh is likely to be one of the first UK communities lost to coastal erosion. With ocean rise\, the sand cliffs are being eaten away by the North Sea\, revealing clues about the ancient landscape\, including fossilized hominid footprints that date to the end of the Early Pleistocene\, around 950-850\,000 years ago\, making Happisburgh the oldest known site of human occupation in the UK. \nAdditionally\, the exhibition showcases photography addressing present-day issues and featuring changing landscapes and vanishing species. \nFollowing its preview at the Palace of Westminster and successful stints in Gloucestershire\, Edinburgh\, and London\, the exhibition arrives in Norwich\, offering visitors a unique opportunity. \nOpening Times \nTuesday 3 December – Saturday 14 December \n11am – 5pm daily except Sunday/Monday (closed) \n
