Norwich eco-artist spreads climate change message through work. 07.11.2021An eco-artist says he wants to simplify the "complicated language" of science into art to spread the message of climate change. Gennadiy Ivanov, from Norwich, has just shown his work at COP26 in Glasgow. He said he wants to increase awareness of "retreating glaciers and floods" in places he has visited such as Canada.Art can deliver "everything about climate change, simpler, quicker and in a shocking way", he said.
"Ordinary people are sometimes not very interested in science - it can use very complicated, confusing language and boring graphs - so I'm trying to bring forward their message through visual art," said the painter, who is a Norfolk Arts Awards winner.He was at COP26 with Prof John Pomeroy, director of Global Water Futures at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, and the University of East Anglia's Prof Trevor Davies, who he collaborates with. During the event, the artist, who Is originally from Russia, displayed eight pieces. "They told me this is the best simple exhibition that has told them more than any expensive display... that explains everything about climate change," he said. "Even some people who didn't believe in climate change, they have started to believe after seeing my work."I know it's important I must do this and I must say the truth and say what I feel." |

Как художник из Бобруйска помогает спасать климат
С 31 октября по 12 ноября в шотландском Глазго проходит 26-я Конференция сторон Рамочной конвенции ООН по изменению климата (COP26). Участие в этом крупномасштабном форуме принимают более 100 руководителей государств и правительств из разных стран мира.
Главная цель конференции — возможность объединения разных стран для построения «зеленой» экономики и перехода к более чистым источникам энергии, масштабное сокращение выбросов для предотвращения серьезных климатических последствий. Рамочная конвенция ООН об изменении климата была принята 9 мая 1992 года и вступила в силу 21 марта 1994 года. В настоящее время участниками конвенции являются 196 стран и Евросоюз.
Участие в этом глобальном форуме принимает и наш земляк — художник Геннадий Иванов, ныне проживающий в британском Норидже. С ним мы пообщались по телефону сразу после открытия выставки его картин «Переходы», организованной в рамках конференции.
Геннадий Иванов уже несколько лет работает в уникальном новаторском партнерстве с канадским ученым-климатологом Джоном Помероем и британским ученым Тревором Дэвисом в рамках исследовательского проекта «Глобальное будущее воды», посвященного изменению климата. Это участие в научных экспедициях по изучению пресноводных ресурсов в арктических широтах Канады, которые подвержены самым высоким темпам потепления на планете.
— Меня привлекли к сотрудничеству, чтобы я как художник мог через изобразительное искусство донести проблемы изменения климата до широких кругов общественности, — отмечает Геннадий Иванов. — Катастрофические наводнения, засухи, изменения уровня воды в озерах и реках, лесные пожары, уменьшение ледяного покрова и быстрое таяние вечной мерзлоты. Мы работали на исследовательских площадках в Юконе, на Северо-Западных территориях, в Скалистых горах Альберты и Саскачеване. Передо мной стояла задача с помощью красок рассказать о невероятных пейзажах разрушаемой природы.
По словам Геннадия, интерес к теме изменения климата возник у него в 2017 году, когда он рисовал последствия эрозии почвы в прибрежной зоне Норфолка из-за поднявшегося уровня воды, заброшенные сельскохозяйственные угодья и покинутые дома.
— На конференции в Глазго представлены мои картины, сделанные в Канаде. Это работы маслом, пастели, на некоторые из них трудно смотреть, — говорит автор работ. — Думаю, что запечатленная художником реальность способна стать катализатором перемен. На конференции в Глазго я встретил представителей европейских молодежных организаций, блогеров и журналистов из Америки, Германии, Италии, Пакистана и Индии, студентов научной академии Королевского общества из Лондона, преподавателей американских университетов Аризоны и Массачусетса.
Геннадий Иванов рассказал, что в следующем году он планирует организовать выставку в Канаде. После презентации на COP26 он получил несколько приглашений принять участие в выставках в США, на Генеральной Ассамблее ООН в Нью-Йорке в следующем году и в штаб-квартире ЮНЕСКО в Париже, а также в Таджикистане и Индии.

Wow. Looks fantastic. Thanks to Eloise O'Hare for drop me the EDP24 news paper. It will be a great memories for ever. https://www.edp24.co.uk/things-to-do/days-out/norfolk-arts-awards-2021-winners-8443728 |
Cold Regions Warming is an art-science perspective on climate change threats to the vast high latitude and high altitude cold regions of the world that provide freshwater to over half of humanity. Climate change causes increasing forest fire, thawing permafrost, melting glaciers, declining snow and ice cover, and more severe droughts and floods that are damaging the natural capital of the vast circumpolar and high mountain ecosystems and river basins that support our freshwater and oceans and therefore our lives, communities, wildlife, environment, and economies. A rescue will require the immediate mobilization of novel climate, human and water solutions for a great common endeavour, on a scale vastly exceeding that for any previous great cause in human history. Cold Regions Warming can help inspire this; based on Global Water Futures’ science and portraying the devastating impact of climate warming at research sites around the world, the art comprises pastels painted in the field, photographs, sound, music, videos and large oils of how climate change and water impacts are measured, and what these impacts are on the cryosphere. Coupled with the art-science presentations, it is suffused with the ambition that we can still ameliorate the very worst which, otherwise, is coming. the session will contribute to UNESCO’S 9TH Phase of IHP (2022-2029) “Science for a Water Secure World in a Changing Environment?
Organized by Global Water Futures/University of Saskatchewan and UNESCO.
Speakers: UNESCO Assistant Director General Dr. Shamila Nair-Bedouelle, Professor Trevor Davies, University of East Anglia, Artist Gennadiy Ivanov, Artist-in-Residence at Global Water Futures, Professor John Pomeroy, Director of Global Water Futures, University of Saskatchewan

Good afternoon,
Thank you all again so much for making the Virtual Water Gallery what it is today!
I am truly honoured to have shared this virtual watery journey with all of you!
The presentations today were of such high quality, we received some fantastic international feedback.
Thank you Chancellor McCreath and John for setting such a supportive scene for all of us to add our brushstrokes to!
And thank you to everyone working “behind the scenes” for being so engaged in making the gallery and the launch event happen!
In total, 275 people from 34 different countries registered to attend the launch event.
On the day, we had a 61% attendance rate.
169 (might be a bit more) attendees joined us virtually (not including the 16 panelists) from 15 different countries (lists of countries below).
This is a fantastic turnout!!!
Thank you all so much for promoting the event within your circles.
I also attach the launch event chat below.
The future may be grim in some respects.
But you’ve all shown the power of collaborations and of art-science initiatives to raise awareness and engagement, which will hopefully contribute to steering us towards a future we want to live in.
We will see what the future holds for us and this project.
I do certainly hope that our paths will cross non-virtually soon!
In the meantime, enjoy the gallery!
And please do let us know if you have any feedback on the gallery’s design and contents.
Thank you, merci!
Louise, Stacey, Martyn and John

Creative Solutions For a New World / Climate Series
Creatively United for the Planet
Award-winning author; Chair of Water and Climate Security at the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health; and senior policy advisor, Bob Sandford, joins us again for a fascinating discussion with the much celebrated Dr. John Pomeroy, Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change; Associate Director, Global Institute for Water Security; and Director of the Global Water Futures Program. Link to letter mentioned in the presentation: https://creativelyunited.org/enhanced... The effects of climate change are magnified in Canada’s North and other cold regions where global warming is changing landscapes, ecosystems and the water environments faster than any other region on Earth. The goal of the Global Water Futures Program is to forecast water futures and use leading edge science to deliver risk management solutions. Through this research, Canada will become a global leader in water science in cold regions and will address the strategic needs for the Canadian economy in adapting to change and managing risks associated with uncertain water futures and extreme events. This fascinating talk about water and the future of water by these leading experts is not to be missed!

Transitions exhibit combines science and art
CHELSEA KEMP
CANMORE– Melding science with art, a new progressive exhibit is set to take over Canmore to highlight the need for action in addressing the climate crisis.
The Transitions: Art-science Project on Climate Change exhibit has an opening reception at artsPlace on March 5 at 5:30 p.m.
“We have the ability to discuss as a community what climate change means, what it looks like and how it impacts all of us,” said Canmore’s arts and culture coordinator and co- curator Nicky Pacas. “This isn’t just a conversation about climate change— it’s how we understand the facts about it, how we can communicate that and how artwork is a really great medium for communicating ideas.”
Transitions is an on-going proj- ect between U.K. artist Gennadiy Ivanov, professor John Pomeroy of the University of Saskatchewan and the Canmore Cold Water Laboratory, and professor Trevor Davies of the University of East Anglia in the U.K. with Global Water Futures.
The trio has collaborated in com- pleting fieldwork exploring climate change and the exhibit fuses art and climate science to showcase the results.
“Gennadiy has been travelling with these professors and translating their sound scientific research through art- work,” Pacas said. “It gives an artistic visualization of climate change.”
The exhibit was made possible through a partnership between the Town of Canmore, Global Water
Futures and artsPlace. The Three pieces will be on display at the bigger,” she said, explaining that she
Sisters Gallery, the Civic Centre and artsPlace will feature Ivanov’s work along with 20 Bow Valley artists.
Pacas said she is grateful local artists are so willing to engage and participate in the show.
“We feel really lucky,” Pacas said. “They can talk about climate change from their perspective, from their home in their area in a really intimate space.”
Transitions was a great fit for Canmore, she added, because a lot of the landscapes Ivanov has been look- ing at and learning about are from the Bow Valley area and are featured in his works.
“Canmore seems like a great place to have this conversation as we have a community that is highly engaged with our changing climate,” Pacas said, adding that Transitions became an especially meaningful exhibit to host because Canmore council declared a climate emergency in 2019. “Art has this ability without statistics or words necessary to give us another way of thinking about these things.”
Artist and co-curator Pascale Ouellet said it was important to bring Transitions to Canmore because the town is already seeing the effects of the climate crisis first-hand.
The subject is often a divisive problem that puts people in two camps, she said, where they deny the problem versus those who are extremely concerned about the lasting ramifications.“It’s not a subject that has a grey shade, it’s black or white,” Ouellet said. She added she appreciates thatCanmore Civic Centre because it is a place of change.“It’s so relevant that’s where all the decisions are being made,” Ouellet said, explaining that it serves as the perfect reminder to not give up on fighting the climate crisis.Ouellet said it is exciting to be involved because Bow Valley artists have contributed work to the exhibit. She added that she was overwhelmed at the response from the community.“It’s something everybody wants to be apart of,” Ouellet said. “There’s very exciting art for the show.”Climate change is an important subject to tackle, Ouellet said, so she took a different approach to creating the show and met and discussed what the subject means to artists and how that could be presented to audiences.Transitions has proven to be a rewarding creative outlook, Ouellet said, serving as a platform for artists to get together and learn from each other.“Everybody has something to say and I enjoy that,” Ouellet said. “We have great visuals for the show.”It is inspiring to hear the artist’s motivation and research behind pieces that will be part of the show, she said, as well as the different perspectives that were taken in the process of creation.Ouellet added she hopes the show has the potential to return to the town as an annual exhibit because climate change is “a subject that will never grow old.”“This is a baby step towards some- thing that could become so muchhopes to see the exhibit grow and continue each year.Art is a universal language, Ouellet added, explaining that anyone can respond to what they see based on their life experience while encourag- ing people to explore outside their comfort zone.“It’s a good way to meet and talk about things that we may not want to talk about,” Ouellet said. “Especially for a difficult subject like the climate crisis.”ArtsPlace program manager Nicole Fougère said Transitions has proven to be a great opportunity to partner with the Town and help an important exhibit “come to life across the community.”Artists by their very nature are change-makers, she said, and art has a way of touching the deepest parts of identity.Transitions will help people expe- rience cutting edge science deeply through the unique perspective of art, she said.Science and art complement each other, Fougère explained, because both are “disciplines of innovations and invite risk-taking and big picture thinking and dreaming,” and the show will embody that principle.“I hope they [visitors] understand that change needs to happen fast,” Fougère said, adding that she hopes people are inspired to take action and do what is needed to help change their ways to ensure the planet is viable for future generations.Transitions: Art-science Project on Climate Change runs until April 2.

Canada falling short of U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals: New Report from Water Scientists
HAMILTON, ON.—Canada could lead the world in helping to achieve water sustainability but is falling short of reaching the goals set out by the United Nations (U.N.), according to a new report from scientists with the University of Saskatchewan-led Global Water Futures (GWF) program.
The report, entitled Water Futures for the World We Want, takes aim at areas where the country is lacking in water resource management and scientific research, and outlines several recommendations for Canada to meet the 2030 goals outlined by the U.N.
“As a proud partner of UNESCO and the U.N. Water Action Decade, we are continuously looking at ways in which we can lead the country in meeting our sustainable development goals as they relate to water,” said John Pomeroy, USask’s Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change and GWF program director.
“Canada could be a world leader on this issue, but we have to transform how we observe, predict and manage water to meet these goals and then share our solutions globally. This is a fitting role for Canada as a world leader in freshwater and hydrological science.”
The report—released Nov. 19th in Hamilton, Ontario where 100 of Canada’s leading water scientists are gathered for a national GWF meeting—cites examples of shortcomings such as inadequate access to clean drinking water on First Nations (even when drinking water advisories are eliminated), declining water quality in lakes, rivers and streams across Canada, lack of wastewater treatment in parts of Canada, and severely stressed river basins such as the South Saskatchewan River where water extraction reaches very high levels in dry periods.
As well, the report also highlights an absence of fully integrated co-operation between provinces and with the federal government on trans-boundary water issues.
Canada, along with 192 other nations, committed to ensuring sustainability of water resources through its official adoption of the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Collectively, these goals represent a roadmap towards a more resilient, just, and equitable society.
While only one of the 17 SDGs (#6) is explicitly dedicated to achieving progress on water issues such as drinking water access, wastewater, pollution, and transboundary water resources management, a total of 40 targets across the other 16 goals are related to water.
“If we are to show the world how to achieve water sustainability, Canada first needs to get our own house in order to achieve the water goal SDG #6,” said Dr. Corinne Schuster-Wallace, professor of water-related human health in the USask geography and planning department and co-author of the report.
“Canada still has not reached universal access to reliable, potable water supplies. While the commitment to eliminating drinking water advisories in First Nation communities will go a long way to achieving this, many more aren’t even served by water treatment systems.”
According to this and several other recent reports, Canada is also on the front line of rapid climate change, with temperatures warming at more than twice the global average and three times the global average in Canada’s North.
“Catastrophic water-related experiences such as increasing frequency and severity of floods, drought, wildfires, and toxic algae blooms are creeping threats that undermine our quality of life, health, and safety,” said Bob Sandford, co-author of the report and EPCOR Chair in Water and Climate Security, United Nations University – Institute for Water, Environment and Health, which is hosted at McMaster University in Canada. “They also cost our economy big time, and those costs are rising.”
Canada’s Parliamentary Budget Officer has said that the costs associated with reimbursing provinces and territories for natural disaster relief costs have increased by 660 per cent between 1970 and 2014, to an average annual cost of $410 million. The cost from extreme events between 2000 and 2017 exceeds $28 billion.
“These estimates are overwhelmingly conservative given the inability to account for losses of life and homes, and the impacts on our consequent physical and mental health,” said Sandford. “Together, all of these issues conspire to threaten Canada’s own water sustainability.”
The authors based their findings on an analysis of recent reports related to SDG targets, progress, and national and international challenges, along with GWF project reports and activities. With 39 GWF water research projects being conducted by hundreds of researchers from 18 universities across Canada, the report is a research-focussed look at the country’s current standing as it relates to the U.N.’s SDGs to date.
“There are significant long-term benefits at stake, including the enhanced health and wellbeing of current and future generations, as well as expanded economic opportunity,” said Schuster-Wallace.
“Ultimately, we have an opportunity beginning at the community level to help create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world for all. The alternative is, quite simply, unthinkable.”

Dear GWF investigators, researchers, students, partners, stakeholders, and friends,
Global Water Futures (GWF) has just reached three years since its launch in September 2016. As 2019 has brought us exceptionally extreme impacts of climate change and developmental impacts on water, it is a good time to take stock of recent progress in GWF and our plans for the future. The tremendous skill, excitement, determination and drive of GWF researchers is certainly needed as Canada and the world grapple with a global water crisis. The coupled climate and water crises threaten the very fabric of our society and the integrity of our ecosystems.
Dr. John Pomeroy speaking at the Water Security for Canadians Workshop in Ottawa
Addressing these interlinked crises means that we need to solve water problems using novel approaches that draw upon both western science and traditional knowledge. To this end, GWF has six newly active Indigenous community water research projects, each of which was co-created and is co-led by an Indigenous investigator and a GWF university co-principal investigator. Adding to GWF’s 39 science projects and six core teams are several new Affiliated Projects from across Canada and around the world that bring greater strength and diversity to GWF. All are warmly welcomed.
Our remarkable 425-page Annual Progress Report is now complete and online – a big thank you to the GWF Secretariat led by Dr. Phani Adapa in producing this remarkable report and to all of you for contributing material for it. GWF continues to be the largest and most highly-cited water research program in the world. Over the past year, GWF members published 314 peer-reviewed journal articles, delivered 607 conference presentations, presented 192 invited, plenary and keynote lectures, published six books and book chapters, and published 54 other articles. In addition, 44 graduate and undergraduate theses were completed during this period. This is a superb record of research achievement and dissemination of scientific information across the world.
GWF has three formal seminar series as well as ad hoc seminars at the four partner universities – they are videoed and made available to the broader GWF community. Presented by the USask Global Institute for Water Security, The Distinguished Lecture Series is running now through October on Wednesday afternoons, bringing in top lecturers on breakthroughs in water security research. The Women and Water Lecture Series, in collaboration with the GWF Young Professionals group, will continue to inspire all scientists and promote greater gender equity in science. The second season of the Women and Water Lecture Series will run again this winter. Both of these series are recorded and broadcast live to all GWF researchers. The Knowledge Mobilization Webinar Series is running now and shares examples of successful initiatives in action, and discusses and troubleshoots common challenges that arise in KM across GWF.

The GWF 2nd Annual Science Meeting in Saskatoon was attended by 600 people
GWF benefits greatly from the GWF Young Professionals who stimulate the interaction, inclusion and participation of students and early career researchers in a variety of activities. An upcoming event that the GWF YP are helping to organise is the McMaster Water Week Research Showcase for Nov. 1. Such an event is highly recommended and reflects well on the students and faculty at McMaster for showing such water leadership.
On Mar. 22, GWF and the GWF YP helped to organize World Water Day events under the theme of “Leaving No One Behind” in Saskatoon, Waterloo, Hamilton and Canmore to celebrate the start of the seasonal acceleration of the hydrological cycle and to review water research at our institutions. USask’s Jay Famiglietti extended this to Washington, DC by contributing a keynote for events at the Pew Center. Congratulations on such (inter)national reach on World Water Day.
GWF partnered with the Forum for Leadership on Water, the Centre for Indigenous Environmental Resources, the POLIS Program on Ecological Governance and the UN University to convene a national discussion on water security at the Rideau Club in Ottawa on April 11th – Water Security for Canadians: Solutions for Canada’s Water Crisis. This event brought together water and climate scientists, policy experts, legislators, and water decision rightsholders and stakeholders. Panelists discussed the scientific evidence of the worsening water sustainability and climate-related water crisis in Canada, and the science and policy solutions needed to adapt to the new climate and water realities across the country. The discussion explored how to create a better, safer and more secure water world for ourselves and for our children, while positioning Canada as an international leader in global water security.
The GWF 2nd Annual Open Science Meeting in May in Saskatoon was a great success with close to 600 attendees, making it one of the largest water science meetings in Canadian history. Part of that meeting was at the spectacular and historic Wanuskewin Heritage Park where we learned about Indigenous water issues and engaged in cultural learning activities. Three keynotes from USA, UK and Germany on water and climate, ecosystems and water quality, and human dimensions, keynote talks from Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, President David Grimes of the World Meteorological Organisation, and Scott White, editor of The Conversationand a public talk by Professor Helen Baulch on Prairie water issues and challenges provided excellent, high level plenary sessions for the meeting. There were superbly run parallel sessions, poster sessions, lightening talks and opportunities for networking that showed the great advances being made in GWF, especially by our young professionals.

GWF Artist in Residence Gennadiy Ivanov at Peyto Glacier, Banff
This summer, exhibitions of science and art reflecting some of GWF’s science and observatories were held in England and Belarus. “Transitions” is a transdisciplinary collaboration of GWF with UK-based artist Gennadiy Ivanov and Professor Trevor Davies (Univ. of East Anglia) . So far the project has focused on GWF sites in western and northern Canada. A magazine describing some of Mr. Ivanov’s first set of photographs, sketches, and paintings can be found here. Our hope is that this collaboration can take the science message from GWF and convey it in ways not possible with graphs and scientific papers. If you would like to collaborate on this project please contact me.
As I write this, a team from the GWF Strategic Management Committee is in Bengaluru, India for Future Earth’s WaterFuture Conference “Towards a Sustainable Water Future” of which GWF is a partner. We are providing a session on “Climate Impacts on Global Mountain Water Security”, several talks on knowledge mobilization and sustainable development goals and water and a plenary talk on “Losing our Cool: Water Predictions for the Warming Cold Regions”. We intend to work with scientists from India and elsewhere to promote global water security and help to address the acute water crisis that is evolving in the Indian sub-continent. Next are our scientific contributions to the World Meteorological Organisation for its High Mountain Summit in Geneva later in October and the Arctic Earth Systems Modelling Workshop in Reykjavik, later in November.
It is an honour to be involved with such talented and brilliant scientists, to have strong support from the Canada First Research Excellence Fund and our funding partners and to have such superb administrative and institutional support that keeps GWF running. GWF has become a remarkable, unprecedented movement that is working out the very challenging solutions for the water crisis, both at home and abroad. We need to “keep going” to show how humanity can improve its water future. The need for this has never been greater.

NORWICH - What does climate change look like?
For U.K.-based artist Gennadiy Ivanov, answering that question has become part of his life’s work.
Ivanov said he was Inspired to create after a series of expeditions and collaborations with two renowned climate scientists, where they traveled to the shrinking home of the polar bear, the receding landscape of large glaciers, even the melting ground where permafrost once existed.
“I’m trying to find my own approach to communicate this change with the public,” said Ivanov, an accomplished artist who grew up in Belarus and now makes his home in Norwich. “I wanted to connect with scientists to do it the right way and to see what they were seeing.”
It was his connection with Dr. Trevor Davies, professor emeritus with the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, and Dr. John Pomeroy, director of the Global Water Futures program and Canada Research Chair in Water Resources and Climate Change at the University of Saskatchewan, that led Ivanov on a journey to see some of the most extreme examples of climate change, both at home and abroad.
“I believe that I can start an effective dialogue on the subject through an exhibition of paintings,” said Ivanov. “I am now producing on an iconic symbol of the Earth system’s vulnerability to climate change. I see this vulnerability close to my home in East Anglia. I see it in Canada.”
Davies and Ivanov examined the nearby Norfolk coastline – where erosion and rising water levels are having a profound effect.
“It’s important to me that this project has excellent science,” said Davies. “Ivanov sees science in a visual way, and where we live now there are big floods and a lot of coastal erosion. The change is clear, and Ivanov is doing his part to share this story through art. It’s really incredible.”
Ivanov accompanied Pomeroy on a cross-Canada expedition in the spring of 2019 to see the effect climate change is having on colder regions.
During the expedition, Ivanov visited renowned research sites where he saw huge mountain glaciers receding at record rates, melting permafrost in Canada’s north where warming is happening three times faster than the global average, and a research site at Wolf Creek in the Yukon Territory where snow was melting earlier than ever before.
“The snow at Wolf Creek has never melted before April, and we have records going back to the early 1900s,” said Pomeroy of the site. “It’s incredible how fast everything is changing.”
Pomeroy was delighted to have Ivanov reach out to him in an attempt to find new ways to communicate with the public. He said watching Ivanov create sketches, paintings, videos and even music on the nature of climate change has been inspiring.
“Art is such a powerful way to show the world what is happening,” said Pomeroy. “As a scientist, I am always looking for new ways to share research, and what he has created is beautiful and terrifying – a great conversation starter.”
Through July 29, Ivanov’s interpretations through art are on display at The Hostry, Norwich Cathedral in an exhibit entitled Climate Change: Impacts in Norfolk and Canada. Davies, Pomeroy and Ivanov will all be in attendance at the gallery and available for interviews between July 17 – 18.

Further information:
North Norfolk recently declared a climate emergency; quickly followed closely by the House of Commons. This is hot on the heels of the first phase of an exciting Norfolk project to increase public
engagement by fusing art with the science of climate change.
Norfolk artist Gennadiy Ivanov and Trevor Davies, former Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Director of the Climatic Research Unit at UEA, have combined to represent aspects of climate change
and its impacts in visual art in order to increase awareness in a wider section of people. They have just returned from Canada, a country which is amongst those most greatly affected by climate
change.
Gennadiy Ivanov had already produced paintings related to sea-level rise and coastal erosion in Norfolk when he approached Professor Davies, who says “I was impressed by Gennadiy’s paintings.
He interpreted and visualized coastal erosion in a way which I found striking, and I thought that his impressionistic images could have a wider impact”.
From Gennadiy Ivanov’s perspective, he knew that Norwich was a hot-bed of climate research and wanted advice on how best to develop his work in the climate change theme. “Professor Davies
explained the principles of climate change and its impacts and convinced me that, together, we could produce a real fusion of science and art in this project. Everyone we spoke to in Norfolk was
enthused by the project, including those who had experience of art in education as a means of getting over a story to those who might not otherwise be interested”.
The real breakthrough came when Professor Davies contacted a colleague in Canada, Professor John Pomeroy, who had spent time at UEA in the 1990s, and with whom co-operation had since
continued. Professor Davies explained that “John is Director of a very effective and important research project in Canada called Global Water Futures (GWF). It is addressing the major climate
change related events which Canada is experiencing: more severe floods, droughts, fires, recession of snow and ice-cover, and perma-frost melting. I felt that witnessing the impacts of these changes
in landscapes which were very different to those in Norfolk could give scope Gennadiy to produce even more striking pictures”.
The two have just returned from a research trip in Canada in which Gennadiy Ivanov was able to join in GWF activities at a number of research sites in the Yukon, North West Territories, and the Rockies
in Alberta. He says “I am very grateful for GWF support and feel enormously privileged to have witnessed the incredibly hard work put in by the scientists, involving sophisticated instrumentation
in remote and difficult terrain. Sometimes the only way in was by helicopter or ski-plane. It made me realise the effort put in by scientists to understand and the effects of climate change and that
Trevor Davies and group member Gennadiy V. Ivanov gave an illustrated talk to a packed room about their recent Science/Art project - Transitions, addressing the subject of global, and local, climate change.
Alan Waters, Leader of Norwich City Council, thanks the speakers and highlights local initiatives with a Norwich 2040 vision.
Art works created by Gennadiy V. Ivanov during the trip to Canada and since will be on show in the Hostry, Norwich Cathedral, from 18 June - 28 July 2019.
We are pleased that Trevor Davies and group member Gennadiy Ivanov are to give an illustrated talk about their recent Science/Art project – Transitions, addressing the subject of global, and local, climate change.
Please do arrive in time for the 7.30pm start to ensure you secure a seat!

Further information:
North Norfolk recently declared a climate emergency; quickly followed closely by the House of Commons. This is hot on the heels of the first phase of an exciting Norfolk project to increase public
engagement by fusing art with the science of climate change.
Norfolk artist Gennadiy Ivanov and Trevor Davies, former Pro Vice Chancellor for Research and Director of the Climatic Research Unit at UEA, have combined to represent aspects of climate change
and its impacts in visual art in order to increase awareness in a wider section of people. They have just returned from Canada, a country which is amongst those most greatly affected by climate
change.
Gennadiy Ivanov had already produced paintings related to sea-level rise and coastal erosion in Norfolk when he approached Professor Davies, who says “I was impressed by Gennadiy’s paintings.
He interpreted and visualized coastal erosion in a way which I found striking, and I thought that his impressionistic images could have a wider impact”.
From Gennadiy Ivanov’s perspective, he knew that Norwich was a hot-bed of climate research and wanted advice on how best to develop his work in the climate change theme. “Professor Davies
explained the principles of climate change and its impacts and convinced me that, together, we could produce a real fusion of science and art in this project. Everyone we spoke to in Norfolk was
enthused by the project, including those who had experience of art in education as a means of getting over a story to those who might not otherwise be interested”.
The real breakthrough came when Professor Davies contacted a colleague in Canada, Professor John Pomeroy, who had spent time at UEA in the 1990s, and with whom co-operation had since
continued. Professor Davies explained that “John is Director of a very effective and important research project in Canada called Global Water Futures (GWF). It is addressing the major climate

- sometimes it is necessary for them to use modes of transportation which emit global warming gases in order to better prepare us for the future”.
Три в одном в бобруйском театре: выставка художника Геннадия Иванова, концерт «SKYNET» и Эдвина Поупа
Три в одном в бобруйском театре: выставка художника Геннадия Иванова, концерт «SKYNET» и Эдвина Поупа
Выставка художника Геннадия Иванова, приехавшего навестить Бобруйск из Туманного Альбиона, концерт бобруйской музыкальной группы «SKYNET» с программой «Атлантида» и выступление британского саксофониста Эдвина Поупа – такими были три основные составляющие творческого вечера 17 мая в театре имени Дунина Марцинкевича.
Гости знакомились с пастелями, фоторепродукциями работ известного художника, побывавшего с научной экспедицией в арктических широтах Канады, дружно аплодировали виртуозно исполненным композициям Эдвина Поупа и группы «SKYNET». А еще счастливчики из зрительного зала получили приятные подарки от артистов – альбомы, майки с логотипом и буклеты.
Шутки со сцены, чарующие звуки саксофона, знакомые многим бобруйчанам скайнетовские песни «Герда» и «Каханая»… А в итоге зрители зарядились прекрасным настроением на весь пятничный вечер и, пожалуй, на весь уик-энд.
Тем же вечером состоялось и небольшое интервью «Коммерческого» с музыкантом из Великобритании. Молодой британский гость рассказал, что родился и вырос в небольшом городке Борнмуте, расположенном на юге Англии. Его отец был любителем играть на барабанах, так с раннего детства Эдвин и рос под отцовские композиции. А затем было музыкальное отделение в школе, учеба в университете Ливерпуля.
Как оценивает сам Эдвин, его карьера сейчас стремительно идет на взлет. Живет в Лондоне, выступает там в пабах. Выступал на концертных площадках во многих странах: Ирландии, Нидерландах, Дании, Франции, Хорватии, Бельгии, уже дважды побывал в Беларуси.
- Моя самая большая аудитория, - рассказывает Эдвин Поуп, - перед которой довелось играть и петь, составляла около 55 тысяч человек. Это был незабываемый концерт в доках Ливерпуля. Но мне доставляет большое удовольствие выходить на сцену и в небольших залах с публикой, которая ценит мою музыку. К примеру, как в Бобруйске.
По словам Эдвина, он считает себя романтиком, но романтиком другого типа, не в традиционном понимании этого слова. Если он захочет сделать кому-то приятное, то предпочтет не дарить цветы, а сделает презент в виде билета на концерт или путешествие, оплаченной брони отеля.
Ему нравится быть в артистической среде, среди музыкантов, художников, танцоров.
- Это те люди, которые меня отлично понимают. Ведь кроме игры на саксофоне, я люблю в парках Лондона рисовать граффити и носить прикольные вещи. Если надеваю носки, то они с забавными птичками.
- Что у музыканта в ближайших планах после выступления в Бобруйске?
- Планирую, что это будет музыкальное турне, которое начнется в сентябре. Серия выступлений в европейских городах, а затем к декабрю начнутся концерты в Америке.
Как заметили зрители на концерте в Бобруйске, в словарном запасе Эдвина есть слова на русском: привет и спасибо. А еще он говорил, что любит бобруйских зрителей. Когда у него уточнили, всегда ли и всем ли зрителям он так говорит, в ответе Эдвин был краток: «Да»! И в его искренности нельзя усомниться.

Геннадий Иванов, группа SKYNET, Эдвин Поуп и проблемы Арктики 15 May 2019
Не перестаю удивляться нашим бобруйчанам, которые, даже проживая далеко за пределами Беларуси, по-прежнему остаются самыми активными участниками жизни нашего города. Не забывают Бобруйск, постоянно открывают для себя и окружающих что-то новое. И знакомят всех нас со своими открытиями. К примеру, Геннадий Иванов, известный художник, много лет проживающий в британском Норвиче. Мы знаем его как талантливого творческого человека, автора многочисленных картин, организатора художественных выставок как в Британии так и в родном Бобруйске, автора книг, пробующего себя в различных литературных жанрах. Но теперь мы можем увидеть Геннадия Иванова и в новом ракурсе! Вместе с учеными-климатологами он занялся изучением мировых экологических проблем! С международной экспедицией климатологов в апреле 2019 года Геннадий Иванов совершил путешествие в арктические широты Канады.
С результатами участия в этой экспедиции, конечно же, Геннадий Иванов захотел познакомить земляков и британцев. Так родилась идея двух художественных выставок: первая откроется 17 мая в Бобруйске в городском театре имени Дунина-Марцинкевича, вторая состоится 19 июня в Великобритании в Норвиче.
Для бобруйчан Геннадий Иванов готовит и дополнительный сюрприз: выступление на бобруйской сцене вместе с коллективом SKYNET британского музыканта Эдвина Поупа. Кстати, Бобруйск и бобруйскую сцену Эдвин Поуп открыл для себя также с помощью нашего земляка Геннадия Иванова.
- Эта задумка мероприятия в театре - соединить воедино три составляющие: творчество художника, творчество музыкантов и результаты исследования ученых - рассказывает Геннадий Иванов. - А главная цель - привлечь общественность к проблемам изменения климата на Земле, поиску решений выхода из экологического кризиса.
По словам Геннадия, он постарался с помощью пастели и бумаги рассказать о невероятно красивом волшебном арктическом мире. Той Арктике, где луна отражается в ледниках, белые полярные медведи разгуливают по льдинам, на снегу можно обнаружить сияющее холодное синее яйцо арктической птицы, а в небе плавают голубые айсберги. Но самое важное - не в красотах природы!
- Арктика сейчас стала полем битвы транснациональных компаний, - обращает наше внимание художник. - Никто не задумывается, какой катастрофой может обернуться эксплуатация этого удивительно прекрасного и, к тому же, безусловно, хрупкого полярного мира.
Экспедиция была организована британским восточно-английским университетом с университетами по изучению воды и климата в Канаде. Увы, таяние арктических ледников, даже небольшое исчезновение снежного покрова на полюсах влечет за собой неисчислимые беды человечеству: наводнения, тайфуны и засухи в средних широтах. Летние пожары, ледяной дождь зимой, миллионы сломанных деревьев – все это звенья одной цепи, отголосок гибнущей Арктики.
Исследовательская экспедиция работала в Юконе, Северо-Западных территориях и Скалистых горах в Альберте. Члены экспедиции проделали невероятно тяжелую работу в отдаленной и труднодоступной местности. Иногда единственным возможным средством передвижения были только вертолет или лыжный самолет.
- Я горжусь тем, что был рядом с учеными в такие важные моменты. Конечно, художники не смогут остановить ход жизни и закрыть программу по «утилизации» Арктики. Но мы можем обратить внимание людей на эту проблему, - считает Геннадий Иванов. – А для этого искусство и наука должны объединяться. Чтобы через творчество художников донести до общественности выводы ученых и их предостережения.

Бобруйский художник из Британии подарил картины музыкальной школе №1
Пятого октября в детскую музыкальную школу №1 им. Е.К.Тикоцкого приезжал известный художник, проживающий в Англии, Геннадий Иванов. Бобруйск для Геннадия – родной город. Здесь он вырос. Учился в профессионально-техническом училище №15 (ныне – художественный колледж). Стал известным художником. «ВБ» не раз писал о нем – можно почитать, например, здесь.
Торжественное мероприятие по случаю приезда художника открыла преподаватель сольфеджио Марина Богуш. Затем Геннадий Иванов представил картины, которые решил подарить школе.
– Еще три года назад эти картины выставлялись в художественном музее Бобруйска, – рассказал мастер. – Написаны пастелью. В картинах иллюстрируются известные места Бобруйска, такие как улица Пролетарская, Бобруйская крепость, река Березина. Другие работы – пейзажи некоторых мест мира. И самая большая картина презентации – «Мечта бабочки».
Всего на мероприятии было представлено семь работ. Все они стали собственностью и достоянием школы.

"The curation of any exhibition is not an easy task. How do you combine the varied work or grasp the immensity of the artists' ideas? In what way should you put the pieces together? It's a big task! Each artist is living in their own world and with their own fantasies.
Each artwork has its own storie: there is always a story to be found beneath the layers of paint or bronze. Often , even a small mark or a smear of paint can tell more then a thick book! We live in a world that is on the edge of fact and fiction. What is beneath the surface of life? The surface highlights the life of every person, every artist, every creature. There, on the surface, are our emotions, ideas, discoveries, pain, life experiences and history. The truth is not obvious, it comes as a revelation. The truth is not on surface: it is hidden.
We invite you to look beneath the surface and find the truth, and there is our story! Then you can go on to create your own".
Gennadiy Ivanov (artist & curator of the exhibition)

Art in Norwich British Art Show special publication - highlights British Art Show 08 and Giacometti at SCVA
First is that the new edition of Art in Norwich is out and about. The pdf and Issuu publications are available for download from here. Issuu, if you haven't used it, let's you leaf though a booklet onscreen in the way that you would a hard copy - try it out, it is great and dead easy and you can access it here . The hard copies have been delayed at the printers but will be out and about soon.
If you don't know about the British Art Show 08, it is a contemporary visual art show which happens every 5 years and is produced by the Hayward Gallery on the Southbank. Curated this time by two women Anna Colin and Lydia Yee, it includes 42 artists and tours to four cities in the UK. It opened in Leeds in October 2015, is currently in Edinburgh and comes to Norwich 24 June after which it will open in Southampton in October 2016. In Norwich, the two main venues are Norwich Castle and Norwich University of the Arts (East Gallery and St George's Building) and there will also be a sculptural piece at The Forum. It is a great coup for Norwich as it has a following and Leeds recorded over 100,00 extra visitors - which is good for the prosperity of a city generally, and the idea of the Art in Norwich publication is to showcase the rest of the art on show in Norwich at the same time.
As well as the artists and work that will be at each city, there are also city specific events. On Saturday 18 June 2016 in Norwich City Centre there will be a landmark event organised by Great Yarmouth based artist, Alan Kane. The exhibition will be delivered by six horse-drawn carts which will process through the city centre and deliver the exhibition to the three British Art Show venues. In much the same way as the circus would process through the town to announce its arrival, this procession will broadcast the arrival of the British Art Show to thousands of onlookers before its public opening on the Friday 24 June. Artists Jessica Warboys will also be working with Norfolk audiences but details yet to be released. There will be a piece of print which will have more details out in June but keep an eye on www.artinnorwich.org.uk or follow @artinnorwich on Twitter for updates
At the same time as BAS8, Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts is hosting two fab exhibitions at the same time which will also be a draw to visitors from the rest of the UK and Europe. Alberto Giacometti : A Line Through Time, opens on Saturday 23 April and runs through till 29 August 2016. This major new exhibition commemorates the 50th anniversary of Alberto Giacometti’s death in 1966. Giacometti is one of the twentieth century’s most significant artists, celebrated as a sculptor, painter and draughtsman. The exhibition will be the most extensive in the UK dedicated to the artist since 2007, focusing on his work and influence during the post-war period on both sides of the Channel. Giacometti was one of the friends and protogées of Robert and Lisa Sainsbury and there are several Giacometti pieces in the permanent collection. Details about the exhibition can be found on the Sainsbury Centre website www.scva.ac.uk
At the same time as Giacometti, (23 April-29 August) there is also an exhibition of photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson, a French photographer who walked the streets of Paris, day and night, from one end to the other, grabbing candid and opportunistic images. The exhibition collects his best photographs of Paris, ancient and recent, well known and never seen before. As always, there will be a series of supporting events, talks and workshops so keep an eye on the Sainsbury Centre site or follow the Art in Norwich blog for deliveries straight to your inbox.
As well as these blockbuster events, there are many, many shows and activities in Norwich. For this special edition, I have also included selected venues and events outside Norwich and around Norfolk such as Cley 16, GroundWorks, a new environmental gallery in Kings Lynn, Great Yarmouth, Salthouse and general guidance about where to find work and enjoy the county. The Waveney Sculpture Trail is a great way of getting out and about in the summer. We live in an amazing county and it is well worth exploring - and a good time to invite friends and relatives to visit too - Art in Norwich can help you to plan so keep a copy handy. And I would also like to say a big thank you to all of the organisations that supported me in achieving this mega-publication it will hopefully be an asset to the city and county.
Music in Norwich is following soon but sign up to follow the blog here. And follow the Art in Norwich blog for notifications of new exhibitions starting - there are too many to list here

The relationship between art and food is as old as life itself.
The change to the Neolithic way of life led to food as pleasure with family and friends within a comfortable surrounding with drawings scratched onto the walls. Ever since cave painters and carvers made images, it was of their prey and the process of catching, preparing and sharing food. From antiquity to the present, artists have represented food, drink, harvest and hunger. Princely feasts provided a means of celebrating food on crafted tableware and a reason for showing off art, which often glorified the diner host. An apple in medieval paintings might symbolize condemnation or salvation. The relationship between food and art is at best one of harmony and well-being through the sharing of a sensual experience involving the stomach and the senses like strawberries and daffodils. Meals like art are often designed to be pleasing to the eye. Many artists such as Matisse and Picasso paid for their meals with paintings. In the 70's and early 80's artists exhibited at Daniel Spoerris Eat Art Gallery working with food as material. More recently Rothko and Hirst completed works for the interior decor of restaurants. The owner of Pied-à-Terre Restaurant have taken the food and art concept a step further by appointing an artist in residence. The Art On The Move exhibition at Brigade represents a contemporary example of this relationship. Both art and food represent an outlet for expression, are influenced by culture and change culture. Colour in art and food influence our experience. It is no co incidence that the cooking and presentation of food is often called culinary art. Much work by food stylists and photographers goes into making food visually appealing. Images of food in art represent aesthetic concerns, social habits, demographics, domestic relations and historical trends. |
