An exhibition exploring our shared and increasingly precarious relationship to the sea. Featuring contemporary art, historical paintings
The Sainsbury Centre presents 'A World of Water', an exhibition exploring our shared and increasingly precarious relationship to the sea'A World of Water' is one of three concurrent exhibitions - 'A World of Water', 'Darwin in Paradise Camp: Yuki Kihara' and 'Sea Inside' - in a programme exploring the fundamental question 'Can the Seas Survive Us?'
The exhibition takes East Anglia's deep maritime connections to the Low Countries of Europe as its starting point to look at the human impact on the interconnected seas that shape our world of waterThe works shown in the exhibition bridge the past and present, revealing how the sea mirrors human experience of time and space, and shapes environments, cultural identities and collective anxieties
Spanning works by British and international artists from as early as 1540 to the present day, 'A World of Water' features works by historical and contemporary artists including Maggi Hambling, Eva Rothschild, John Crome, Olafur Eliasson, and George Vincent
Looking back to the cross-pollination between Norfolk and the Netherlands throughout the 16th century as its starting point, the exhibition presents maps and atlases dating back five hundred years, and includes seascapes typical of the Dutch Golden Age, tracing their influence through time to inspire the artists of the Norwich School in 19th-century East Anglia
'A World of Water' traces the shift in artistic perceptions of the sea, from romanticised seascapes to urgent reflections on environmental crisis, adaptation and resilience
