Wayne Binitie

Wayne Binitie is an artist and sculptor who is displaying newly commissioned artworks in the Polar Zero exhibition at the Glasgow Science Centre, during the Cop26 climate change conference. A glass sculpture containing Antarctic air from the year 1765 features in a new immersive exhibition which aims to bring climate science, art and engineering together to explore the issue of climate change in new ways. He is currently completing his PhD Polar Aesthetics: Art of the Arctic and Antarctic which asks, ‘What hidden histories written in polar ice can contemporary art reveal?’
