What's Next? : Eco Materialism and Contemporary Art Paperback / softback
by LINDA WEINTRAUB
Paperback / softback
Description
By paying tribute to matter, materiality and materialisation, the examples of contemporary art assembled in What’s Next?
Eco Materialism and Contemporary Art challenge the social, cultural and ethical norms that prevailed in the twentieth century.
This significant frontier of contemporary culture is identified as Eco Materialism because it affirms the emergent philosophy of Neo Materialism and attends to the pragmatic urgency of environmentalism. In this highly original book, Linda Weintraub surveys the work of 40 international artists who present materiality as a strategy to convert society’s environmental neglect into responsible stewardship.
These bold art initiatives, enriched by their associations with philosophy, ecology and cultural critique, bear the hallmark of a significant new art movement.
This accessible text, written for students and a wider readership, is augmented with interactive opportunities that actuate eco material attitudes and behaviours.
They invite readers to engage in this timely arena of contemporary art.
Printed in high quality black and white throughout, colour reproductions of the artworks discussed are available to view through the author's website.
