Exhibition at Cranbrook explores climate change


BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. — A new exhibition that explores climate change is opening at the Cranbrook Institute of Science.

"Cape Farewell: Art & Climate Change" opens to the public Sunday and runs through June 13 at the museum in Bloomfield Hills.

The Cape Farewell project was created by artist David Buckland in 2001. Artists traveled to the Arctic aboard the schooner Noorderlicht in 2003, 2004 and 2005, creating works that were inspired by on-board climate scientists.

It's the second exhibit as part of "Artology: The Fusion of Art and Science." The first was in the fall. The yearlong Artology program includes programming to showcase the work of artists whose practices intersect with science.

It takes place at Cranbrook in the Detroit suburb of Bloomfield Hills.
