Exploration of what it means to live and build an
artistic practice in a time of climate change and
ecological crises. As artists, how do we think
through the material, environmental, and
psychological costs of our production? What kinds
of thinking are embodied in place? How can
place-based embodied knowledge teach resilience?
What does a sustainable practice look like in
terms of material and immaterial resources?
Utilizing expertise from regional eco-artists,
field trips in and around Portland, research, and
practice, we will explore the relationship between
place, the agency of material, and the intention
of the artist.
