Ecology and Artistic Practice
27 - 28 April 2005 RSA, London
Can artists make a difference? Is it the task of art to point out solutions to ecological problems? What are artists currently doing about climate change issues?
Focusing primarily on contemporary visual arts, Ecology and Artistic Practice questions the role of artists addressing environmental change in an international debate at the RSA, London. The symposium discusses pragmatic solutions as well as looking towards Ecology as an alternative, integrated and holistic perspective on culture’s relationship with the natural world.
The programme was launched on 27 April with a keynote address by artist Alfredo Jaar. Speakers include: Prof. Gary Genosko; Clare Cumberlidge; Nils Norman; Dan Peterman; Solitaire Townsend; Jane Trowell; Kayle Brandon & Heath Bunting; Jennifer Allora & Guillermo Calzadilla; Jan Vervoert; Henrik Håkansson. Chaired by Declan McGonagle.
