The intersections of art and ecology raise important questions about how artistic practices have sought to understand our place in nature, while foregrounding the deep entanglements of natural and cultural formations throughout history. Contributions to this year's symposium range from the stylistic to the geopolitical, the material to the philosophical, and address strategies and forms through which ecological concepts are negotiated in the visual arts and architecture.
Art and Ecology is the 2019/2020 scholar year theme at the Getty Research Institute.
