    Conference “Art and Sustainable Development”

    Sustainable Energy Week, European Union, 11-15 avril 2011.
    Belgium – Bruxelles

     
    Event date: 13 April 2011
    Organiser: Solar Solidarity International
    Other organiser(s): Entretiens Monde

     
    This conference will bring together speakers who will present their projects or achievements combining art and sustainable development. Actors of the art scene and the energy world will bring their testimony and will stimulate thoughts and a debate on this topic.

     
    The Speakers:

    Alexandre Dang

    Introduction to the presentation:

    The energy coming from the sun and hitting the earth represents 10 000 times the energy need of mankind. Sun energy represents hence a huge potential. However, currently, 1,7 billion people have still no access to electricity: there is a huge need of energy to satisfy. Bridging the gap between the huge potential of renewable energies and the enormous energy need of mankind appears to be a key issue. http://solarsolidarity.org/

    Bio:

    Alexandre Dang is an artist committed towards raising awareness on sustainable development issues and on the potential of renewable sources of energy. He developed his artistic creation by incorporating solar energy as the power source of his kinetic art works. Alexandre Dang supports and collaborates with Solar Solidarity International (a non-profit international association) which aims at communicating on the potential of renewable sources of energy through exhibitions and at raising funds to support solar electrification projects in the developing countries.

    Lauranne Germond (COAL)

    Introduction to the presentation:

    COAL, “coalition pour l’art et le développement durable” (coalition for art and sustainable development) created in France in 2008 is a professional association which brings together contemporary art, sustainable development and research. COAL supports the key role of creation and culture in the awareness and the implementation of practical solutions. It also contributes through its activities to the emergence of a culture of ecology. COAL promotes the integration of the artist within a network of stakeholders focusing on the current societal and environmental issues and acts via the launch of calls for projects, events, exhibitions, publications, in collaboration with artists, scientists, cultural institutions, NGOs, communities and businesses. COAL is also a platform of awareness, information and enables linking the world of art with ecology, which provides scientific and bibliographic references and views on current art in relation to ecology and sustainable development. COAL also created the price COAL & art environment. www.projetcoal.org

    Introduction to the presentation“Solar Artworks”:

    “Solar Artworks” combines art, architecture, design, science, and a common objective: how to make our cities more sustainable through public art. We can find solar artworks in different parts of the world, and their creators generally are multidisciplinary groups of specialists. In this conference we will see some of the most interesting examples of solar artworks studied in the frame of “Solar Artworks” to date, in particular how different the projects can be, and why they have been created. http://www.solarartworks.com/

    Bio:

    Nacho Zamora is a Spanish art researcher who has curated an international presentation and exhibition of solar artworks: renewable energy–focused technology, art and design. Licensed in Fine Arts at the University of Murcia (Spain), he specialized in public art for a Master of Artistic Production at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain). Nacho Zamora is currently working on a Doctoral Dissertation titled “Solar Artworks”. The goal of this project is to compile a complete report about solar artworks and their creators. All work is based on theoretical concepts of public art and sustainability.
