Series of discussions chaired by Bridget Zaidee Nicholls
London’s art radio station Resonance104.4fm collaborated with Bridget Zaidee Nicholls (international artist in residence at ZSL London Zoo) to curate and chair a series of live discussions, highlighting different aspects of biodiversity as part of Frieze Art Fair. To accompany these three live broadcast discussions, there was a series of films highlighting the plight of biodiversity and how art responds.
Three Discussions
Surveillance with ZSL’s marine conservationists Dr. Matthew Gollock and Dr Kirsty Kemp, both whom have used surveillance techniques to monitor aquatic species; Simon Baker, Curator of Surveillance at the Tate Modern; and Manu Luksch surveillance film curator and expert.
Edge of Existence with ZSL’s Professor Jonathan Baille, global authority on the status and trends of threatened species; the late great Polly Higgins, an international environmental lawyer, barrister and initiator of Planetary Rights; and celebrated arts and ecology artists Akroyd and Harvey.
And finally, Climate Change with RSA arts and ecology curator Emma Ridgeway and arts activists PLATFORM.
Bridget Zaidee Nicholls commissioned the films as an arts / science collaboration, which were developed and curated by Gina Geoghegan and Matthew Gollock, filmed and edited by ZSL film producer Zoe Klassnik.
