Architextures 016: Ecological Art - Francesca by OpenLab Radio published on 2021-08-23T11:57:32Z www.openlab.fm | 106.4FM in Ibiza & Formentera Check the full tracklist on our website: https://openlab.fm/news/architextures-016-ecological-art Join https://soundcloud.com/francescamackay for this month's episode of Architextures, a 2-hour musical journey inspired by Ecological Art and the works of artist Nancy Holt. Nancy Holt pioneered the use of outdoor art as a platform for environmental activism in the 1970s, at a time when land artworks actively damaged the environment they were created on. She introduced ideas central to environmental protection, conservation, and stewardship that were not initially central to contemporary land art, seeking to frame, rather than rival, the natural environment surrounding her site-specific installations. Her minimalist strategy sought to reinforce our connection with nature, attuning the senses to the surrounding ecological world. "I have a strong desire to make people conscious of the cyclical time of the universe" the artist once said. The recent IPCC report only stated what we already new; that human activities are unequivocally and irreparably damaging the Earth’s ecological systems. This month’s Architextures, in the music’s names, words and sounds, seeks to reflect the necessity of global collaboration and social justice in preserving and protecting the natural environments in which we live.
