To Life!: Eco Art in Pursuit of a Sustainable Planet

To Life! Eco Art in Pursuit of a Sustainable Planet documents the burgeoning eco art movement from A to Z, presenting a panorama of artistic responses to environmental concerns, from Ant Farm’s anti-consumer antics in the 1970s to Marina Zurkow’s 2007 animation that anticipates the havoc wreaked upon the planet by global warming. This text is the first international survey of twentieth and twenty-first-century artists who are transforming the global challenges facing humanity and the Earth’s diverse living systems. Their pioneering explorations are situated at today’s cultural, scientific, economic, spiritual, and ethical frontiers. The text guides students of art, design, environmental studies, and interdisciplinary studies to integrate environmental awareness, responsibility, and activism into their professional and personal lives.

In this highly accessible introduction to American art since the 1970s, Linda Weintraub offers art lovers a readable exploration of some of the most important artists and movements of the past three decades. Today artists routinely dissolve the old boundaries of art by creating works that neither hang on walls nor adorn pedestals, and often willfully overturn conventions of aesthetic value, permanence and optical reward. Curator and educator Weintraub has researched and/or interviewed 35 prominent radical artists and here explores their common concerns, creative processes and media. Devoting one essay to each artist, Weintraub offers a primer for museum and gallery goers who may be confronting such works for the first time, discussing Andres Serrano's photo of a crucifix submerged in urine, the half ton of dirty clothes Christian Boltanski piled on a museum floor worn by children of the Holocaust, Janine Antoni's mammoth blocks of chocolate and lard, Chuck Close's computer art and David Hammon's detritus constructions.

Cycle-Logical Art: Recycling Matters for Eco-Art is part of an innovative textbook series entitled Avant-Guardians: Textlets in Art and Ecology. The term 'cycle-logical' creates a linguistic link between recycling and psychology. Cycle-logic means expanding thinking beyond current uses and end-point discards. It envisions never-ending material use. The first section of the book explores current recycling protocols, the history of garbage, strategies for dealing with garbage, and the environmental implications of these strategies. The second part introduces the innovative manner in which contemporary artists are addressing these issues. The third part invites readers to activate cycle-logic through research, discussion, and art projects.

The book organizes and defines the numerous divergent approaches to protecting and healing the planet.
