  • Complaint to the Science Museum Group
    COMPLAINT TO THE SCIENCE MUSEUM GROUP STATEMENT OF SUPPORT This formal complaint, compiled by Culture Unstained and supported by the undersigned, outlines how the Science Museum Group’s corporate partnerships with the fossil fuel companies BP, Shell and Statoil undermine its integrity as a scientific institution and are in conflict with both the museum’s own Group Ethics Policy and relevant policies governing the wider museums sector. On its website, the Science Museum Group highlights how a corporate partnership with the museum will allow companies to ‘demonstrate their commitment to addressing some of the most urgent scientific challenges of our time’. But even though these three companies have been aware of the urgent challenge of global warming for decades, they have all demonstrated through the ongoing pursuit of new sources of fossil fuels incompatible with meaningful climate change mitigation that they are unwilling to respond in a constructive way to the scientific consensus on climate change. Furthermore, these companies have often worked to undermine action in line with that scientific consensus, by supporting the spread of disinformation, lobbying against environmental regulations and opposing clean energy solutions that would threaten their ongoing interests in fossil fuels. By associating with the Science Museum Group, these companies hope to gain a ‘social license to operate’; a perception among both policy-makers and the wider public that they are responsible companies engaged in activities that respect people and the environment, and that they are in alignment with the scientific consensus on climate change and, by extension, the goals set out in the Paris Climate Agreement.

  • Edge of a Pine Forest Signed in Cyrillic and Dated ‘1884’ (Lower Right) Graphite and Charcoal on Paper 32.5 X 46.5 Cm (12¾ X 18¼ In)
    Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin (Elabuga 1832 - St. Petersburg 1898) Edge of a Pine Forest signed in Cyrillic and dated ‘1884’ (lower right) graphite and charcoal on paper 32.5 x 46.5 cm (12¾ x 18¼ in) Edge of a Pine Forest is an excellent example of Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin’s later depictions of forests. The naturalistic treatment and glimpses of unfolding vistas are characteristic of his style during the 1880s. Shishkin considered drawing to be an important branch of art. At this time the lines in his drawings are elastic and mobile, sometimes flowing, light and wavy, whilst at other times resilient and strong. He uses black lead in a light, free style but his pencil strokes are more animated and varied. Shishkin used a combination of pencil, charcoal, graphite and white chalk, which allowed him to achieve softer effects and a finer gradation of tone. Over forty years of artistic activity, Shishkin produced hundreds of paintings, numerous studies and drawings, and a large number of engravings. Many of these concerned forests and trees. An oil painting created a few years after the drawing, Forest in Mordvinovo (1891, State Museum and Exhibition Centre ROSIZO, Moscow), illustrates Shishkin’s use of an alternative medium to treat the same subject. Shishkin considered studies to be an integral part of the creative process, based on continual observation and reflection. The resulting level of detail does not detract from the unity of the picture, but contributes to a carefully thought out composition and the harmonious use of light colours. The present drawing was executed by Shishkin specifically for a project to demonstrate the potential of photogravure as a printing method.

  • Does the Bbc Help Cultivate a Pro-Gmo Agenda in the Uk?
    DOES THE BBC HELP CULTIVATE A PRO-GMO AGENDA IN THE UK? Results of an open survey, June 8-13, 2015 Beyond GM, London www.beyond-gm.org EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A recent BBC Panorama programme, entitled GM Food – Cultivating Fear, suggested that opposition to GMOs is “morally unacceptable” and that those who oppose GMOs are prone to “making things up” instead of relying on facts and sound science. In the days following the programme there was considerable criticism about its narrative and the way that it framed the issues in support of a particular and partial point of view. It was in this context that Beyond GM endeavoured to provide a space, however limited, for broader public comment by undertaking a survey and gathering comments which explores the views of an informed public. At the heart of this enquiry were some very basic questions: Does the BBC help cultivate a pro-GM agenda in the UK? and How adequately and respectfully are public concerns about genetic modification in food and farming represented by the BBC? The survey was conducted online between 8th and 13th June 2015. There were 1000 respondents; 49.3% men and 50.6% women, and with an age spread typical of that of the UK as a whole. Respondents were made up of individuals from both sides of the GMO debate and represented a spectrum from those who believe that GMOs are necessary and beneficial to those who believe that GMOs are unnecessary and risky. Within this spectrum there was also a ‘middle ground’; those who felt GMOs were either ‘potentially beneficial’ or ‘potentially harmful’.
