To Life! - Eco Art in Pursuit of a Sustainable Planet (Electronic book text)

"To Life Eco Art in Pursuit of a Sustainable Planet" documents the burgeoning eco art movement from A to Z, presenting a panorama of artistic responses to environmental concerns, from Ant Farm s anti-consumer antics in the 1970s to Marina Zurkow s 2007 animation that anticipates the havoc wreaked upon the planet by global warming. This text is the first international survey of twentieth and twenty-first-century artists who are transforming the global challenges facing humanity and the Earth s diverse living systems. Their pioneering explorations are situated at today s cultural, scientific, economic, spiritual, and ethical frontiers. The text guides students of art, design, environmental studies, and interdisciplinary studies to integrate environmental awareness, responsibility, and activism into their professional and personal lives."
