Greenhouse Britain: Losing ground, gaining wisdom (until 14th March) Estimates of the predicted rise in sea levels this century due to the effect of climate change on the earth’s ice caps range from one to five meters. In Britain, a rise of five meters would displace over 2 million people and flood 10,000 square kilometres of land. Greenhouse Britain is a new exhibition by the eminent American ecological artists Helen Mayer Harrison, Newton Harrison and their British associates. This exhibition dramatically addresses the environmental, political and economic challenges of rising sea levels caused by climate change. The central feature will be a multimedia video projection onto a giant relief model of mainland Britain. We will see the waters gradually redraw the coastline.
