The understanding of art will change as the average temperature on Earth rises. In the future, everyone has to be like an artist and use his/her creativity to cope with daily insecurity. There will be art but will there be an audience?

Too Hot For Art artists are:

Natalia Castrillón, harpist

Amandine Doat, dancer and circus artist

Jaap Klevering, sound and performance artist

Vishnu Vardhani, body artist

By offering a two-day cross-artistic performance they will explore and ponder the role of art in a crisis situation. The project is curated by performance artist Willem Wilhelmus and produced by Catalysti ry, Transcultural Artists Association in Finland.
