Climate activists have landed themselves in the soup
A splash of soup on a priceless painting can make a powerful statement about a critical issue. Or it can obscure the statement, and just make a big mess.
I’m going with the planet and people. But this is not an either/or situation. And this was the wrong target. The group had also checked in advance that the painting would not be damaged by the soup. And indeed the artwork, protected by glass, was not harmed, other than minor damage to the frame. It is now back on display. So, phew.
I have given a lot of thought to the role of art in the climate crisis. This gallery protest was not meant as a call to arms for artists specifically. That’s something to consider, though, because art can be a powerful tool for change.– and it is! But it needs to be addressed. We are fiddling while Rome burns, I fear, and future generations will judge us for it.
