    COAL PRIZE 2017

    The COAL Art and Environment Prize 2017 was awarded to artist Anne Fischer  for her project Rising from its Ashes. The laureate was selected by a jury of personalities of contemporary art and ecology among ten shortlisted artists, at the Museum of Hunting and Nature on 29 November 2017. The event was part of a day dedicated to Art, Culture and Biodiversity organized by the Ministry of Culture, the Museum of Hunting and Nature, COAL, the French Center of Funds and Foundations and the French Agency for Biodiversity.


    In eight editions, the COAL Prize has become the international rendezvous for artists who take up the main universal challenge of our time: ecology. This year, nearly 350 artists from 66 countries representing the six continents competed in the international open call. The ten nominated artists were selected for the aesthetic qualities of their proposals, their relevance to environmental issues, their inventiveness, their ability to transmit and transform, and their social and participatory approach. Together, they demonstrate how creation, in its diversity of forms and actions, is a key force in shaping the future of our societies.

    LAUREATE
    Anne Fischer (France, b.1988) was awarded the COAL Prize in 2017 for her project Rising from its Ashes
    Rising from its Ashes is the transformation of plants able to draw heavy metals from the polluted soil of an old mine, in the south of France, into glazes that neutralize them. Linking the industrial past with a local pottery tradition to revitalise a region and its heritage.The abundant mineral resources of the Cévennes developed, amongst others, a pottery tradition along with an intense mining activity. Exploited for centuries before its complete stop in 1995, those mines produced lots of waste that has contaminated rivers and soil with heavy metals, subsequently creating serious troubles for the ecosystem and the people living there.
    On the ancient mine site, only 2 species of plants survived, the so called hyper accumulators. A phytoremediation program, based on those 2 plants, has been developed by scientists in order to rehabilitate the polluted soil. Though, without valorisation, the biomass created by the aerial parts of those plants are still considered as contaminated waste. The up-cycling of this biomass into glazes is thus essential.
