Images of inclement weather brew a storm inside the Ayala Museum Ground Floor Gallery in the exhibition, “Thunderstorm” (German title: “Unwetter”), also presented by Goethe Institut-Philippinen, running from May 9-29, 2011.
This exhibition is comprised of video, photography and audio works by twelve (12) international artists, engaging viewers through media in the current debate on climate change. The works also serve as artistic interpretations of the delicate relationship between human activity and natural phenomena.
“[D]espite its occasional harshness you could feel part of a greater order within nature,” says Alfonso Hug of Goethe Institut-Rio de Janeiro, curator of Thunderstorm, “but now the weather has become the climate, a frightening, anonymous physical quantity which can lead to catastrophic events at any time… Climate change has turned weather into storm. Climate is weather without poetry or esthetics.”

Last May 9, 2011 at 3 pm at the Ayala Museum Lobby, a panel of environmental and meteorological experts discussed the unsettling implications and possible effects of extreme climate change. Speakers had focused on the Philippine context in their discourse.
