Brian Eno: excited about ClientEarth joining artists to fight climate change

26 May 2009

Brian Eno has been chatting about Luminous, the festival he's curating at the Sydney Opera House, and the ClientEarth event is right at the heart of his vision:
 
'Eno said he hoped the events at Luminous, which include a discussion with environmental legal group ClientEarth, would encourage artists to make people think about climate change.

"Artists have become so lazy in articulating their corner," Eno told Reuters in an interview at the Sydney Opera House.

"But artists can create a sense of what is cool and what is not, what is acceptable, exciting, timely... I would like to see a future where artists think that they have a right to contemplate things like global warming."'

Check out the full Reuters article here, and the story has also been picked up by the Washington Post, EurActiv and Condé Nast Portfolio. For all you Spanish speakers, they're also pretty keen on us here, too.
