As part of the EHU/UPV Summer Courses, the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum in collaboration with Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea/Universidad del País Vasco is organizing a two-day international symposium entitled Art Models for the Earth System. Set to take place on June 14 and 15 in the Museum Auditorium, this forum will focus on synergies between art and scientific research, and will establish new relationships among experts from multiple fields for a better understanding of the dynamics of our planet, seeking innovative remedies to the climate crisis.

Considering the complexity of the present situation and the impossibility of approaching it through a single discipline, the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum will bring together creative agents—artists, architects, designers, and curators—and leading researchers in fields related to the Earth System to present their current work and provide ideas on possible collaborations that could have a positive impact on our planet. The course will present a series of talks given by eminent international figures, along with thematic round table discussions to promote interaction among panelists. Structured around key planetary spheres or subsystems—such as the Biosphere, Geosphere, Hydrosphere, and Atmosphere; with an epilogue about the Noosphere—the modules of this symposium aim to reinforce the pillars of artistic-scientific collaboration in the ecological field and to generate new frameworks of possibility for the prediction, remediation, and prospecting of our impacts and interactions with the environment.
