Article 2010
Stavanger, 15 Sept – 15 Oct
The 2010 Article Biennial raised a number of pressing questions regarding art’s contribution to environmental issues, and particularly climate change. Is this growing trend known as eco-art merely jumping on the environmental bandwagon, or is it a more deep-seated phenomenon capable of modifying consumer behaviour? Does it redefine the artist’s role and responsibility? ARTICLE 2010 examined eco-art’s impact and its capacity to break down the divisions between art, science, environmental realities and daily life, in an international conference, a series of discussions and, most strikingly, an exhibition.
