University Open Air: Art & Our Environment
From prehistoric cave paintings to the evolving field of Eco-Art, Earth's surroundings have been the source material as well as the subject matter inspiring many artists. In this lecture we will explore the historical context of environmental consciousness in contemporary art, and the various strategies artists employ in their sustainable creative practice.
