LAND, buy viagra<\/a> ART: A Cultural Ecology Handbook<\/span><\/span> <\/span>To accompany the first phase of the Arts & Ecology programme a publication investigating aspects of ecology from different perspectives and highlighting the creative work being done in this area has been edited by Max Andrews<\/strong> and was launched on 12 December 2006, cialis sale<\/a> to coincide with the A&E conference \u2018No Way Back?<\/em> \u2019.<\/span>Land, Art: a Cultural Ecology Handbook <\/strong><\/em><\/span>presents a compendium of texts, dialogues and collaborations by and among ecologists, economists, cultural theorists, activists and art writers that extend from the notions of land, cultural production and the emergencies of 21st century. Reproductions of existing artworks by and original contributions from international practitioners \u2013 as well as artists on-the-page \u2018studio visits\u2019, for example \u2013 will explore art\u2019s varied modes of response \u2013 from detached crisis commentaries to engaged activist solutions. \u00a0<\/span>The publication exists within the time frame of a fragmentary genealogy of \u2018land\u2019 (and what has been understood by \u2018the environment\u2019) since the 1960s, when the term was evoked in culture through the activities of so-called \u2018Land Artists\u2019 and those working in novel ways within natural contexts. At this time too a new, popular environmental consciousness began to emerge (an axis marked by the publication of Rachel Carson\u2019s incendiary Silent Spring <\/em>(1962), through the first photograph of Earth from space (1968) to the first Earth Day in 1970).<\/p>\n

<\/span>Today\u2019s interdisciplinary understandings of ecology, however comprehend a complex set of relations that go way beyond environmentalism and, for instance, its historical fixation with wilderness conservation. Likewise, art has radically diversified and globalised from an inherited notion of landscape, becoming concerned with, for example, areas as varied as corporate capital, politics, technology, utopian communities, industrial agriculture, tourism, ethnic and social justice in the process.<\/p>\n

LAND, ART <\/em>\u2026 <\/em>proposes to test if and how our current conception of art and artists is relevant to the urgent territory of accountability and sustainability, and where, how and why art might operate \u2013 at the \u2018grass roots\u2019, at a tangent, as propaganda, as resistance, etc.<\/p>\n
