Resource hungry: our cultured landscape and its ecological impact : 2020 Verbier Art Summit

Abstract

The 2020 Verbier Art Summit asked how to envision a way forward in finding harmony between art, ecology and resources. The speakers gathered for an extended dialogue in Verbier, Switzerland, to consider questions raised around resources, land and culture. The framework of the Summit allows for the exploration of a variety of subjects, ranging from the history of land art and work made in and about the land- and urban-scape; the resources consumed by art and institutions; engineering and other man made forms in the environment; real and imagined landscapes and the future of art in the context of an ecological crisis. --Conference website.
