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. http://www.artsandecology.org.uk/magazine/features/madeleine-bunti _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
