Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Die Gletscher in den Alpen und auf Grönland schmelzen seit Jahrzehnten. Die globale Erwärmung beschleunigt ihren Schwund in alarmierendem Ausmass. Der Schweizer Geophysiker Alfred de Quervain (1879-1927) vermass als Erster den Glarner Claridengletscher und führte 1909 und 1912 bedeutende Forschungsexpeditionen nach Grönland durch.Glarus und Grönland: Der Künstler Martin Stützle und der Fotograf Fridolin Walcher machten die Glarner Gletscher zum Thema ihrer Werke und begleiteten im Mai 2018 Schweizer Umweltwissenschaftler auf einer neuen Grönlandexpedition. Ihre Fotografien, Radierungen und Performances entstanden vor dem Hintergrund wissenschaftlicher Fakten, sprechen jedoch die Sinne und Gefühle direkt an.«The Glacier's Essence» präsentiert die Essenz von Gletscherkernbohrung und Kunst und nimmt de Quervains Faden auf: Im Anschluss an ein Vorwort von Benedikt Wechsler, Schweizer Diplomat und Mitinitiator der Expedition von 2018, geben die Geografin und Evolutionsbiologin Gabriela Schaepman-Strub, der Glaziologe Konrad Steffen und der Klima- und Umweltphysiker Thomas Stocker Einblick in den neusten Stand ihrer Forschung. Die Kunstpublizistin Nadine Olonetzky beleuchtet Martin Stützles und Fridolin Walchers Arbeiten und die aktuelle Bewegung der Klimakunst. Seller Inventory # 9783858816658
Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Glaciers in the Alps and on Greenland have been melting away slowly for decades. Global warming has increased the speed of their retreat drastically in recent years. Swiss geophysicist Alfred de Quervain (1879-1927) carried out the first survey of the Clariden glacier in the Swiss canton of Glarus and initiated and led important scientific expeditions on Greenland in 1909 and 1912. Swiss artist Martin Stuetzle and photographer Fridolin Walcher also link Glarus with Greenland. Both have made the Swiss glaciers the subject of their work and, in May 2018, joined a Swiss research campaign investigating the current state of the glaciers on the world's largest island. The photographs and prints they produce reflect an intense awareness of scientific facts, yet they strike the viewer emotionally and aesthetically. This book blends the essence of glaciological and geophysical research with contemporary art and picks up on Alfred de Quervain's legacy. Prints and photographs are featured alongside three easy-to-read essays offering a concise survey of the findings of the 2018 expedition. A fourth essay comments on Stutzle's and Walcher's works and explores current trends in climate art. Text English, German and Kalaallisut (Greenlandic). 137 colour illustrations An artistic reflection on climate change exemplified by the rapidly melting glaciers on Greenland and in the Swiss Alps, featuring prints and photographs by Swiss artists Martin Stuetzle and Fridolin Walcher alongside easy-to-read essays on latest findings in climate and glaciological research.
