The 411 shells represent the average concentration of carbon dioxide in earth’s atmosphere today, which in April this year topped 411 parts per million. This is 61 more than our planet and our life support systems can sustain and is expected to have a catastrophic effect. By hiding these stained shells inside the museum, the artists denounce Shell’s responsibility in causing climate change, and the complicit role of the Van Gogh Museum for sanitising Shell’s public image and facilitating the social license they so badly need to continue operating. | ||
