The Ruskin Collection: Storm-Cloud - The Look of the Sky opened at the Millennium Gallery in Dec, and since then, artists from across the world have been responding to Ruskin’s revolutionary 1884 lecture, which was one of the first to discuss climate change, and inspired this exhibition @ruskintoday Here’s curator, Ashley Gallant, to explain how this digital artwork by @doctortompayne and @goodgoodgoodall is evolving thanks to artists across the world responding to the lecture. This exhibition brings together work from the @ruskintoday collection, curated by our @natsatclub young people, with video work by @goodgoodgoodall and research by @doctortompayne at @sheffhallamuni The Ruskin Collection: Storm-Cloud - the Look of the Sky continues at the Millennium Gallery until 29 Nov 26. If you like this exhibition, please donate £5 to help care for Sheffield’s collection and celebrate the stories they tell. #ruskintoday #johnruskin #whatsonsheff #sheffieldmuseums creativesheffield @visitsheffield
