CoolGlobes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet

From June-September 2007, the City of Chicago will host “CoolGlobes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet,” an innovative project that uses the medium of public art to inspire individuals and organizations to take action against global warming.

The exhibit will feature over 100 sculpted globes, each five feet in diameter, displayed along Chicago’s lakefront from The Field Museum north to Navy Pier. Artists from around the world, including Jim Dine, Yair Engel, Tom Van Sant and Juame Plensa, designed the globes, using a variety of materials to transform their plain white sphere to create awareness and provoke discussion about potential solutions to global warming.
