“Iceberg artist” Olafur Eliasson on his first solo show in Asia-Pacific and how art tackles climate change

Olafur Eliasson’s first solo exhibition in the Asia-Pacific region is now running in Taipei

London in December is cold, but not cold enough to explain the presence of icebergs in the Thames. Yet people walking past the city’s Tate Modern on December 11, 2018, would have seen 24 of these frozen masses on the river banks; a 20-minute walk away, across the river and north, at the office of media company Bloomberg, a further six massive blocks of ice could be found.

“The icebergs were so isolated from their context that people were confused. When they put their hands on it, they exclaimed, ‘Oh my God, this is ice’,” says Olafur Eliasson, the artist behind this installation, Ice Watch. The millennia-old icebergs were extracted from a Greenland fjord and transported to London (and in 2014 to Copenhagen and 2015 to Paris) as a visual reminder to urban dwellers of the imminent impacts of global warming. As the icebergs gradually melted over the course of ten days, the viewers’ fleeting moment of excitement turned into worry. “They went, ‘Look at this beautiful ice that’s going to disappear. This is 20,000-year-old water from before humanity [started polluting] and is the cleanest water in London. But now it’s just going into the sewer.’ You could tell there was an immediate sensation of urgency.”

The art of using every part: 6 traditional Asian ingredients that reduce food waste

In many Asian households, resourcefulness isn’t a trend—it’s a way of life. Plastic bags are folded for reuse, takeout containers are repurposed and ingredients are stretched to their last edible fibre. This ingrained ethos of minimising food waste has been passed down through generations, and is evident in how traditional recipes embrace and elevate parts of produce that others often discard.

From banana stems to tea leaves, here are six ingredients that prove sustainability has always been part of Asia’s culinary DNA.
