The Galapagos archipelago in the Pacific Ocean is a place of
extraordinary biodiversity, home to species found nowhere else on
Earth and synonymous with the discoveries of Charles Darwin. But it
is also a place of competing interests: those of the rare animals
and plants, the scientists who are trying to conserve them, the
settlers from Ecuador seeking a way to support themselves, and the
tourists who travel across the world to encounter the astonishing
environment. Galapagos is the result of a five-year artists'
residency programme set up by the Galapagos Conservation Trust,
working with the Charles Darwin Foundation, as a unique way of
highlighting some of the complex issues that relate to the islands.
Twelve international artists were invited to engage with the
Galapagos on their own terms, to mix with the local and the
scientific communities, to find inspiration for original new work
and eventually to share it with a wide audience. The artworks and
essays in this book prompt comparisons with other places in the
world that are beset by multiple demands. Artists: Jyll Bradley,
Paulo Catrica, Filipa Cesar, Marcus Coates, Dorothy Cross
(accompanied by Fiona Shaw), Alexis Deacon, Jeremy Deller, Tania
Kovats, Kaffe Matthews, Semiconductor (Ruth Jarman and Joe
Gerhardt) and Alison Turnbull.
