Beyond Green: Toward a Sustainable Art
November 7 - December 17, 2006Beyond Green: Toward a Sustainable Art explores the ways that sustainable design philosophy resonates with the work of an emerging generation of international artists hailing from cities including Brooklyn, Chicago, Copenhagen, London, San Francisco, San Juan, and Vienna. The artists, combine a fresh aesthetic sensibility with a constructively critical approach to the production, dissemination, and display of art. They embed environmental concerns within larger ethical and aesthetic explorations; they are building paths to new forms of practice that go beyond green. Beyond Green, an iCI traveling exhibition, was curated by Stephanie Smith of the Smart Museum of Art.
Artists in the exhibition include Allora & Calzadilla; Free Soil (Amy Franceschini, Myriel Milicevic, Nis Rømer); JAM (Jane Palmer and Marianne Fairbanks); Learning Group (Brett Bloom, Julio Castro, Rikke Luther, and Cecelia Wendt); Brennan McGaffey with Temporary Services (Brett Bloom, Salem Collo-Julin, Marc Fischer); Nils Norman; People Powered; Dan Peterman; Marjetica Potrc; Michael Rakowitz; Frances Whitehead; WochenKlausur; and Andrea Zittel.Image Credit: Installation view, University Art Museum, CSULB.
