Ecological Aesthetics : artful tactics for humans, nature, and politics Hardback
by Nathaniel Stern
Part of the Interfaces: Studies in Visual Culture series
Hardback
Description
With this poetic and scholarly collection of stories about art, artists, and their materials, Nathaniel Stern argues that ecology, aesthetics, and ethics are inherently entwined, and together act as the cornerstone for all contemporary arts practices.
An ecological approach, says Stern, takes account of agents, processes, thoughts, and relations.
Humans, matter, concepts, things, not-yet-things, politics, economics, and industry are all actively shaped in, and as, their interrelation.
Aesthetics are a style of, and orientation toward, thought-and thus action.
The book contains dozens of color images and quotations from artists.
Stern, an artist himself, writes with an eco-aesthetic that continually unfurls artful tactics that can also be used in everyday existence.
Hardcover is un-jacketed.
