An expansive resource for how art can help us imagine and practice more regenerative ways of living on the planet
With contributions by over sixty artists from around the globe--including Mark Dion, Olafur Eliasson, the Guerrilla Girls, and Maya Lin--this richly illustrated volume brings together diverse approaches to ecological art making across disciplines, cultures, and generations, with each artist offering insights into their materials, processes, and strategies for encouraging public engagement.
More than a survey, Art and Ecological Impact is a call to action. It emphasizes creative approaches that move beyond representation and highlights art's impact not only on living systems but also on the social values that cultural change depends on. The book invites artists, students, and nonpractitioners alike to consider how materials are sourced, how communities are involved, and how artistic practice can contribute to cultural and ecological regeneration.
Primarily geared toward artists, art educators, and art students, it provides:
- A road map of socioecological practices rooted in care, interconnection, and responsibility.
- An indispensable reference for those seeking ways to align their practices with ecological values.
- A practical teaching tool with concrete methods, questions for reflection, prompts, and other resources.
- A global snapshot of environmental art in the twenty-first century that reveals art's impact on ecosystems and society.
