COAL- Art and Sustainability
http://www.projetcoal.org/coal/en/coal-art-developpement-durable/
Coalitions and organisations such as the above and also C4AA are majorly inspirational and embody a lot of the industry that I see my work slotting into. Although that can loosely be associated or referenced as 'industry'. It doesn't echo the same gallery dwelling space as the fine art industry boasts. It uses platforms and public opportunity to push for improvement and change. This, to me, is progressive modern art. This area is fluid in its link with other walks of life and allows its position to be considered and reconsidered as demand requires.
COAL concerns itself with supporting artist who are looking into issues of ecology and is aiming to encourage a consciousness within the arts sphere. COAL awards are something that does this, by encouraging the work to investigate issues of climate change and be climate aware, this grows a new consciousness within the sphere. As well as exhibitions and artist workshop, the organisation works with people to consider what is at stake and work toward improvement. The use of creative thinking is pivotal to this. Here the marriage of art and activism is tied under a non-utopian knot.
Encouraging artists to produce work under a new wave of ecological creativity. This is something I am yet to find being pushed in the UK. The extended consciousness within the field is something that would separate the arts in modern day.
Something else set up by COAL is the 'Creative Climate Change leadership' which fundamentally embodies all my work has discussed for a long while now.
The social dimensions of climate change are what haven't been fully investigated at a governmental level. I also feel I am struggling with the 'art of the possible' and action groups like this reinstill confidence within me that I too can work toward a similar aim within my work.

'In a multidisciplinary and innovative spirit, COAL mobilizes artists and cultural actors on social and environmental issues and supports the creation of artwork, creating awareness and implements concrete solutions through exhibitions, events, the Coal Art & Environment Prize, and intelligence resources'

'What are the cultural dimensions of climate change?
Speaker: Alison Tickell of Julie's Bicycle
Artists and cultural actors have a unique role in society - we act both in and beyond the systems that shape our lives. We are struggling with the art of the possible and are influencing the new ways of being, doing and thinking. Today's human societies have never had so much need of these qualities.
Creative Climate Leadership is a program designed to empower cultural professionals to take part in the climate challenge through creativity. Its objective is to support the development of best local and international practices, new skills and discourses, and change public policies.
Creative Climate Leadership is the result of a new partnership between eight European structures: Julie's Bicycle (England), COAL (France), On The Move (Belgium), KRUG (Montenegro), EXIT Festival (Serbia), ARS BALTICA , PINA (Slovenia), MITOS21 (Denmark). It is supported by Creative Europe.'
The social dimensions of climate change are what haven't been fully investigated at a governmental level. I also feel I am struggling with the 'art of the possible' and action groups like this reinstill confidence within me that I too can work toward a similar aim within my work.
