Madeleine Bunting: art and climate.

An essay | does the art stop when the persuasion starts?

Within six months the writer and social commentator Madeleine Bunting 
found herself visiting three major art exhibitions that were all 
responding to the issue of climate change. All three raised similar 
questions. Can art carry the weight of expectations that are being 
placed upon it? Has art discovered a new sense of purpose? Where does 
the line between art and propaganda lie? In this essay commissioned by 
the RSA Arts & Ecology Centre, Bunting suggests we need a clearer 
understanding of what we expect from art – and artists.
