Abstract:
TO LIFE! Eco Art in Pursuit of a Sustainable Planet, the first international survey of twentieth and twenty-first-century eco artists, has just been published by the University of California Press. The text’s ‘ A to Z’ panorama of artistic responses to environmental concerns beings with Ant Farm’s anti-consumer antics in the 1970s and culminates with Marina Zurkow’s 2007 animation that anticipates the havoc of global warming. The author will explain how the book can serve students of art, design, environmental studies, and interdisciplinary studies integrate environmental awareness and activism into their professional and personal lives.
