Platform Earth: Carbon: Frieze London
A group exhibition of carbon-negative artworks made with sequestered air pollution, in aid of arts and environment charity, Platform Earth.
As Assistant Curator for arts and environment charity, Platform Earth, Rosannagh conceptualised and facilitated their inaugural fundraising exhibition, CARBON. Her concept brought together major UK artists to work with Air-Ink: an innovative black ink made from sequestered air pollution (as used in her own practice). This collection of carbon-negative works launched at Frieze London 2022, and demonstrates how the art world can create world-class exhibitions without harming the planet.
Funds enabled the charity to support cutting edge science in carbon reduction, including their Great British Sea Forest campaign, supported by the Sussex Kelp Restoration Project and David Attenborough, which is working to conserve over 300 square kilometres of invaluable marine habitat.
Since Rosannagh’s inception of the project, it has gone from strength to strength, with an ever expanding collection of donor artists, plus carbon negative editions, and the launch of Carbon II at the 60th Venice Biennale (2024).
Artists include: Philip Colbert, Keith Coventry, Shezad Dawood, Tracey Emin, Brian Eno, Antony Gormley, Alastair and Fleur Mackie, Haroon Mirza, Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Ben Okri, Cornelia Parker, Petroc Sesti, Conrad Shawcross, Nicole Stott, Wolfe von Lenkiewicz, and Alison Wilding.
