Research Abstract
Ecovention: Current Art to Transform Ecologies
This text explores a number of artist's philosophical perspectives and methodologies for dealing with ecological issues in the natural environment. It examines these diverse practices to demonstrate the variety of ways that artists can literally transform the natural environment to better communities. The book also serves to show that these artists works are proof of the value of ecological intervention as a contemporary art tactic.
