    COAL PRIZE 2013

    COAL Prize 2013 was awarded in Paris on April 2, 2013 at Laboratoire to the artist Laurent Tixador for his project Architecture Transitoire. For this fourth edition, COAL Prize’s theme was Adaptation.

    This word is at the heart of contemporary thought and strategies used by nations, cities, businesses, and communities in order to cope with climate change. It is the subject of a movement, of appropriation,  of adaptation by artistic creation. It is the term we have selected for  the  2013 COAL Art and Environment Prize.

    At  a global level and in relation to the theory of evolution by natural selection as defined by Darwin, the adaptation capacity of a species explains the conditions for their survival or  their disappearance.  Climate change has affected the lives of many species in the past, resulting in five major mass extinctions.  Today, climate change and the depletion of  our ecosystems is accelerating with innumerable consequences which  once again,  pose  a threat  to the extinction of the diversity of  the life forms with which our species has co-evolved for over millions of years.

    In our society do we have the means and tools to adapt to these profound changes? International summits give birth to disagreements or commitments in minimal time.  This seems to be incompatible with the urgency of the issues at stake and with society facing the economic crisis,  employment and short-term are  priorities. How do we reconcile adaptation, expectation, change and resilience? How do we reverse the principles that structure the relationship of western man to his environment? Adapting to the scale of his needs  rather than his capabilities. What are the values that govern our  resource, food, social, political and economic choices? Who are the people that  hold the keys to this adaptation? Ecologists, town planners, farmers, industrialists, lawyers, artists? What role can social networking, collaborative innovation, creativity and biomimicry play in order to encourage adaptation? With social inequalities dramatically on the rise, will this create a great cast who may or may not adapt? Will safe havens, sanctuaries and abundance of unspoilt nature be the new ghettos of  the privileged classes of tomorrow?  Will they leave those countries most affected behind or will they be united on a national and international scale, with the progress of climate justice, world governance and social ecology ?
