eco-art

Presentation for Washington University's Environmental Studies interdisciplinary group

I really enjoyed having the opportunity this past week to present a version of my paper on the ethics of eco-art for Washington University’s Environmental Studies group, which is composed of faculty from across the university engaged in environmental research and programming. For this context, I presented a modified version of the paper I delivered at the Cleveland Symposium — focusing, once again, on a contemporary Cleveland-based eco-art case study but with heightened emphasis on its environmental science and climate communications dimensions.

Paper presentation at the 49th Cleveland Symposium

I was honored to present my paper “Mistakes on the Lake: On the Ethics of Eco-Art and Ecological Stewardship” at the 49th annual Cleveland Symposium this past weekend. The symposium is organized by the graduate art history department at Case Western Reserve University and hosted at the Cleveland Art Museum; this year’s theme was “Surface Tension: Water, Waterways, and Art” and featured a remarkable program of presenters.
