Art Interventions for Environmental Resilienceexplores how these artists (and even some institutions) are transforming the way art is created and experienced.Because paints, brushes, canvases and packaging can leave an unintended carbon footprint, the artists often select tools and materials specifically to reduce their environmental impact, such as recycled paint and canvases, natural dyes and other recycled materials, including natural items.
Other ways artists incorporate sustainability include creating ephemeral (non-permanent) art, land art (involves sculpting land) or upcycled art, which involves transforming by-products, waste materials, and otherwise useless or unwanted products.
Theres a long historical relationship between art and sustainability across different genres and a variety of mediums,ArtServeExecutive Director Jason Hughes explained. This will be a fascinating showcase of new techniques in artistic sustainability.
OtherArtServeevents scheduled during theArt Interventions for Environmental Resilienceexhibit include a Japanese Butoh dance exhibition by Pinar Sinka and a watercolor exhibition of nature-themed art by Liora Davis.
