Short description

Several texts on art and ecology, imagination and reality, from different perspectives: artists, scientists, philosophers, political scientists.

Personal appreciation

These texts enlight the state of the art about reflections on art and ecology in France. During the last twenty years, the cultural sector has been increasingly concerned about the concept of Sustainable development: how to reduce ecological footprint mainly. This magazine gives the floor to artists and philosophers focused on climate change and biodiversity. They tell us how the world is changing, the main issues and their vision on a new world they are expecting.

Contribution to the "Who knows?" handbook

"Ecology and art" is an underestimated topic in publications and reflections in our societies. Experiences and art pieces are more and more numerous but have been undervalued during decades. This topic was reduced to the sphere of naturalists and land art. A strong trend appears now among artistic field to participate to the ecological debate.
