Water is Art - Art is Water    

Water, the precious substance connecting the mosaic of life, has through the ages been a subject of artistic interpretation. ART.27 Gunilla Hedén and Stina Axelsson PLIMSOLL are proud to present the following exhibition during the World Water Week.

The good old Greeks, were they ahead of us in safeguarding the water? Fantastic photos will give some answer.

 

“Water A History of Law and Culture”

Water Picture by Lena Michelson, published in the book Water, written by Staffan Michelson, a Swedish lawyer. Aristotle referred to civilization, the foremost among human arts and Plato taught how water was to be protected by law. By increasingly refined judicial systems, society continued to develop to safe-guard shared, essential assets against over-exploitation and pollution. If this was possible to achieve more than 2000 years ago – why should we not be able to succeed with it today?  www.staffanmichelson.se  

 

 

What do we really understand about the movement in water? Please enjoy the lovely cascades.
