Author Description

<i>To Life! Eco Art in Pursuit of a Sustainable Planet</i> documents the burgeoning eco art movement from A to Z, presenting a panorama of artistic responses to environmental concerns, from Ant FarmÕs anti-consumer antics in the 1970s to Marina ZurkowÕs 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 EarthÕs diverse living systems. Their pioneering explorations are situated at todayÕs 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.
