ABSTRACT
On the hand, art-and art's approach to aesthetics-can make this and other ways of perceiving the climate crisis possible. In order to be able to better question the limits of the purely scientific framing of climate and climate change, works of art are therefore an irreplaceable foil for the perception and imagination of climate crisis. Many works of art in the context of the climate crisis belong to the first category in that they take climate research and its findings as a starting point to follow, or they create artistic works about these findings. The artist duo known as the Canary Project has long been concerned with the climate crisis, often operating at the intersection between aesthetics and action. Moving beyond the frame of individual consumer subjects, they can pave the way toward joint political actions outside of museums, where art and protest meet; one example would be the current Extinction Rebellion movement.
