Hi Ruth
Paint is oil based, as is our economy
there is a direct link, as direct as a flight from Cornwall to Dublin

year. What can I do? Stop showing art? Shift my practice from installation
I would assume that the shorter flights are more destructive than the
long-hauls as it takes a lot more energy to put a plane in the sky
than it

Hi Helen,
I did for a moment shudder when considering something similar, but in
all honesty it is something less interesting and boring.
The server is full and we are currently getting rid of even more junk on

i took this pledge, but it's easy for me as i barely get any time to
dedicate to art as it is, the idea that i would have the time and money to
fly somewhere to see it is almost absurd. for some of you guys it looks more

I don¹t travel around to look at art. I agree, that would be a luxury. I
travel to put art in front of audiences or to attend meetings that are
intended to make things happen, or setup new connections between
institutions, artists and others, or assist others in achieving their aims.

Hello everyone,
I'd like to share some thoughts about the fly for art topic.
First of all, I haven't taken the pledge because I've actually got a flight
booked for next month. But I rarely fly for art, so I don't think it will
make much difference anyway.
I think the problem is much bigger than

my understanding of this pledge was that it was aimed at punters rather than
artists. i wouldn't fly to reykjavik to see the sugarcubes, i'd wait until
they turned up playing a gig in brighton [where i live] or london. the band
should travel, the audience remain at home. same goes for yourself or

To save confusion here is a copy of the main text from the pledge:

occasionally) ... there is a wealth of art that can be experienced

Hi, I don't have a high-flying art career. I have a pretty big

But it seems as though this project is negatively motivated,

Hi Simon,
Regarding second life - you may have point. I seem to remember there was
some kind of survey based on google servers and their carbon foot print.

Hi Everyone,
Something I haven't noticed (and sorry if it's escaped my attention)
in the discussion on the don't fly for art pledge is that there should
