Abstract

Exhibited Wembury & Woolacombe, a new pixel landscape piece, which was specially commissioned for the exhibition. Whatever The Weather was RAMM’s major winter exhibition exploring how weather seems to be constantly changeable, occasionally extreme and always unpredictable. Through a mix of historical paintings and prints, artefacts, archives and the work of contemporary artists, the exhibition exposed humanity’s relationship to the elements. It drew on the collections of the Met Office, National Trust, Arts Council Collection and Royal Meteorological Society and RAMM’s own collections. The show included rain gods from the Americas, paintings by William Blake and Samuel Palmer, stormy seascapes and ships in distress, private weather diaries, weathervanes, barometers, thermometers and a wide range of recording instruments. Also Admiral Fitzroy’s first ever weather forecast issued by the Met Office in 1861 and Beaufort’s original table of wind strength (the Beaufort Scale) dating to 1810. In response to the historical material, RAMM commissioned Wembury & Woolacombe as a centrepiece for the exhibition alongside existing works by other contemporary artists including Simon Faithfull and Julian Grater. In developing the exhibition and events programme, RAMM worked closely with the Met Office and the National Trust.
