Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- As global warming and climate change affect communities in different ways, museums become places for personal reflection on the future of the planet. The public is thirsty for clear information and nuanced discussions on environmental change at both local and global scales, but there are few opportunities for serious conversations about these issues that include diverse audiences. Museums focus on the material world: objects, artworks and historical collections. Such materiality can be helpful in environmental discussions, which are often abstract and filled with modeling that is beyond the mathematical literacy of the general public. Objects speak directly to people of all ages.1.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper considers three ‘galleries’ that explore the Anthropocene in cultural ways, and theimplications of the Anthropocene idea for cultural institutions and heritage. The first gallery isthe 2014–2016 exhibition Welcome to the Anthropocene: The Earth in Our Hands, [Willkommen imAnthropozän: Unsere Verantwortung für die Zukunft der Erde] at the Deutsches Museum in Munich.The second ‘gallery’ of Anthropocene Posters sponsored by the Art Museum, Haus der Kulturender Welt (HKW), placed the Anthropocene in a ‘museum without walls’ in the streets of Berlin in2013. The third ‘gallery of the Anthropocene’, was not a museum, but rather a landscape gallery(or ‘spectacle’) of in situ industrial heritage in Svalbard. Pyramiden, a town established to minecoal well north of the Arctic Circle in the early 20th century, has been recently transformed asan attraction for climate change science and heritage tourism. Here the hybridized local landscapecreates a snapshot of the Anthropocene, bringing together industrial coal-mining heritagebuildings, polar tourism and science forged in the geopolitics of the changing Arctic environment.
