The presentation will take place in room 2008 at Western Michigan University\u2019s Richard Center for Visual Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rice stated that \u201ctipping point\u201d is a term made popular by journalist and author Malcolm Gladwell in his 2000 book, <em>Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGladwell was talking mostly about what he calls social epidemics or trends that suddenly have great success in our culture and how that happens,\u201d Rice said. \u201cClimate scientists, however, use the term to focus on changes to the atmosphere, oceans, carbon sinks, air temperature and ecosystems. In an ideal world, I\u2019d want my work to be a tipping point as Gladwell describes it\u2014one that starts a social epidemic toward real progress in reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. There are other things that need to be done to slow the pace of global warming, but reducing our dependence on fossil fuels is critical.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/Tipping-Point-1-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"Art images from Tipping Point exhibit\" class=\"wp-image-23980\" style=\"width:551px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/Tipping-Point-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/Tipping-Point-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/Tipping-Point-1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/Tipping-Point-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/Tipping-Point-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">&#8220;Tipping Point&#8221; is currently in the Albertine Monroe Brown Gallery at Western Michigan University&#8217;s Richard Center.

Everything from dyes and adhesives, the plastic in the products we use every day\u2014such as our cell phones and computers\u2014all the way to packaging and the synthetic fibers contained in our clothing and furniture are built on the foundation of petrochemicals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, when presenting his work, Rice often questions whether his lecture is an artist\u2019s talk or more of a call to action. To decide for yourself, hear the lecture or visit the exhibition, which is on display through Friday, February 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAvoiding a complete climate disaster is going to mean sacrifice from all of us,\u201d he said. \u201cAs author Naomi Klein says in her book <em>This Changes Everything: Capitalism and the Climate<\/em>, it\u2019s going to take mass social movements to start the change we need in regards to battling global warming and environment degradation. It\u2019s not one behavior or action that humans can take to slow the pace of climate change and environmental degradation. We really can\u2019t predict with certainty when the tipping point will be, or what outcomes will result, but we can be sure that our climate is changing and those changes are not only making the planet warmer, but less inhabitable for humans and many other forms of life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re invited to hear directly from Art Professor Tom Rice about his show, titled \u201cTipping Point,\u201d in a free lecture at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, February 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":147,"featured_media":23980,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[234,233,3],"tags":[223],"post_formats":[],"class_list":["post-23979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-faculty-staff","category-news","tag-art"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Tipping Point: Hear from Artist About Climate-Themed Display<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"You\u2019re invited to hear from Art Professor Tom Rice about his show, titled \u201cTipping Point,\u201d in a free lecture on February 6.\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/tipping-point\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hear from Artist Regarding Climate-Themed &#039;Tipping Point&#039; Display\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"You\u2019re invited to hear from Art Professor Tom Rice about his show, titled \u201cTipping Point,\u201d in a free lecture on February 6.\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/tipping-point\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"News and Events\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/KalamazooCollege\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-01-31T19:01:18+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-02-07T13:48:57+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/Tipping-Point-1.jpg\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2048\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1536\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Andy Brown\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"Hear from Artist Regarding Climate-Themed &#039;Tipping Point&#039; Display\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@kcollege\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@kcollege\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Andy Brown\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\r\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/tipping-point\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/tipping-point\/\",\"name\":\"Tipping Point: Hear from Artist About Climate-Themed Display\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/tipping-point\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/tipping-point\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/Tipping-Point-1.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2025-01-31T19:01:18+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-02-07T13:48:57+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/8b54e37c984840c05e9ec797b6616166\"},\"description\":\"You\u2019re invited to hear from Art Professor Tom Rice about his show, titled \u201cTipping Point,\u201d in a free lecture on February 6.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/tipping-point\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/tipping-point\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/tipping-point\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/Tipping-Point-1.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.kzoo.edu\/news\/files\/2025\/01\/Tipping-Point-1.jpg\",\"width\":2048,\"height\":1536,\"caption\":\"Tipping Point is currently in the Albertine Monroe Brown Gallery at the Richard Center.
