Symposium: Sharjah Biennial 8, Art, Ecology and the Politics of Change


5–7 April 2007

Produced in partnership with the curatorial practice Latitudes, RSA Arts & Ecology programmed a three day symposium at Sharjah Biennial 8.

Sharjah Biennial 8 (SB8): STILL LIFE - Art, Ecology and the Politics of Change, will take place 4 April - 4 June 2007 in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. With Hoor Al Qasimi as Director and Jack Persekian as Artistic Director of the 8th edition, the Biennial’s theme proposes art as a way of creating a better understanding about our relationship with nature and the environment, whilst considering its social, political and cultural dimensions in an interdisciplinary way. Aware of the critical ambiguity of its topic and its potentially controversial dimension, SB8 will attempt to explore the renewed role of contemporary art as a vanguard force, which could invoke active dialogues about possible future sustainable scenarios.

Poll

As an artist, are you aware of the impact your own practice has on the environment?

Yes, and I consider that when chosing processes and materials.

Yes, but it's better to think of the art first, and the materials and processes second.

No, it's not a consideration when I make my art.
