and Art History
When reviewing these resources, keep in mind that approaches to the environment vary considerably and don't necessarily approach sustainable practice or a quality relationship with the environment. For example, though "land art" in the 1960's and 1970's was motivated by revolution against established art practice, it was typically working with an old paradigm of the earth as a manipulatable "object".

An anthology of essays published within a 5-year period in the author's search for transcending human ambivalence with the reintegration of art as a way to "reestablish meaning for seriously compromised words such as humane and accountability...". The author is inspired by Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle (..."The spectacle isn't the world of vision, it is is the vision of the world permeated by the powers of domination...") as a taking off point for the discussion, with post-9/11 commentary included just before the book was about to go to press. Of note is a chapter on Art and Ecology ( the integration of art into life and critical for survival).

Based on the exhibition "Kunst und Naturform," held in 1958 at the Kunsthalle, Basle.
An amazing juxtaposition of 20th century abstract art and microphotographs taken by scientists. In the preface by Willi Jaggi: "A selection of paintings and sculptures of the past 50 years, in various abstracts styles, was accordingly shown alongside a selection of corresponding microphotographs. Many people thus for the first time became conscious that the forms used by artists who had apparently turned their backs on nature were in fact to be found in nature itself."

Ends of the Earth: Land Art to 1974. Munich, London, New York: Prestel, 2012.
Organized by Philipp Kaiser and Miwon Kwon held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA May 27 to August 20, 2012 and the Haus der Kunst, Munich, October 12, 2012 to January 20, 2013. With web-basedinteractive feature developed by the MOCA mapping key artworks to their original locations.
The history of the Land Art movement is reexamined with critical essays and interviews by scholars and curators discussing the work of now well-known artists who used the physical earth (or the concept of land thereof) for indoor and outdoor (typically large-scale) installations and performance primarily in the 60s and 70's. The main tenets of the exhibition are that land art was international (not primarily an American sculptural movement) was practiced in both urban and remote places, was not anti-art or anti-object as it depended heavily on the established art system for support and exposure, and that it was "a media practice as much as a sculptural one" wherein photography and the popular media played a key role in documenting artists' works. The well-illustrated catalog includes a pictorial Annotated Checklist of the Exhibition and Annotated Chronology of Group Exhibitions and Events (from 1933 to 1974). Detailed footnotes; selected bibliography compiled by Cassie Wu.

A history of the human exploration and manipulation of light at the rise of the Industrial Age in England and Western Europe in an attempt to show how light was used and perceived then, whereby inviting reflection on how we use and think of light now. Ninety-five one-page essays range from light as a source of wonder to one of hell. The exhibition of art, scientific and industrial objects, corresponds to themes on: A Ray of Light -- optics and physics beginning with Sir Isaac Newton; The Light of Nature -- natural light as observed and explained by artists and scientists beginning with the "Enlightenment"; Makers of Light -- new lighting technologies and power; Personal Lights -- lighting for the home and Public Lighting. Without a subject index (except for a named person index) one must peruse each essay for interesting emotional, environmental, social, symbolic, spiritual and political tidbits. The writers have provided a good introduction on their intent, their methodology, and thinking on the subject of light and it's history. Includes a timeline of selected related events from 1675-1905.

Notation from the exhibition web site: "brings together key figures across different generations who have created utopian works and inspiring solutions for our ever-changing planet...draws on ideas that have emerged out of Land Art, environmental activism, experimental architecture and utopianism. The exhibition is designed as one fantastical landscape, with each piece introducing into the gallery space a dramatic portion of nature...Radical Nature also features specially commissioned and restaged historical installations, some of which are located in the outdoor spaces around the Barbican while a satellite project by the architectural collective EXYZT is situated off site."

An overview of the Conceptual Art movement (including earth art, performance art, body art, etc.) which questioned the tradition of art as object and began exploring art as idea, process and/or experience. The seed of awareness through experience influenced the emergence of ecologically aware art, which would became full blown by the early 1990's.

This charismatic figure offered a new model of the Israeli, one who found a different way to wander across the country, exploring its treasures and its open spaces, appreciating its natural and cultural qualities and crafting the ideal relationship between society on the one hand, and place, environment, sites, landscape, art and history on the other."

This traveling exhibition (1998-2000) curated by Linda Weintraub and Marketta Seppäla addresses"an alternative paradigm: animals can be understood not as creatures of another world, of nature, but as co-inhabitants with human beings in our common world." (Seppäla)
"The catalog documents the art projects produced at the Pori Art Museum in Finland. Eight scholars working in diverse animal-related fields—John Berger, Ben-Ami Scharfstein, Yrjö Haila, Tim Ingold, Gisli Palsson, Juhani Pallasmaa, Val Plumwood, and Daniel Simberloff—explore the cultural roles of animals as well as our role as observers who detect new layers of meaning in what we see; they compare pre-historic, historic, and contemporary attitudes toward animals as well as today’s art with past art." The English edition of the catalog was published by FRAME: The Finnish Fund for Art Exchange and the Pori Art Museum." MoMA P.S.1 New York.

Volume 1 is a landmark book written and researched by the landscape painter and activist meant to heighten awareness of the inextricable relationship between humans and the environment in the face of an increasingly "ravaged earth." Includes critical and historical commentary with quotes, poems and essays of well-known and some lesser known American 19th and 20th century landscape painters. Some women artists are featured in the book and the subsequent exhibition catalog.
Volume 2 is a pictorial (b&w) exhibition catalog, inspired by Gussow's book, curated by Gussow and held at the Joslyn Art Museum and the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery. The exhibition included paintings held in the permanent collections of the two venues, works from Volume 1 and some other examples by "significant" American artists.
Gussow states in the introduction: "If there is a message in this show, it lies in its urging each of us to attend to roots, to notice what is about us, to involve ourselves deeply in our own locations, to recognize that in some hidden way we are the products of our places. In the end we are not distinct from our landscape for as we give shape to our villages and cities, these places shape us. Our environment is more than a passive backdrop; it is the stage on which we move.The objects and forms on that stage shape our actions, guide our choices, restrict or enhance our freedom and in some mysterious way even predict our future."

“…a poem about a river, printed as a river, so it becomes a map of a river, on paper that ripples like a river and is as richly colored as water gorged with red Amazonian mud. It is a river of words and a map of the mind, but it is also, first and last, a book, and so the sheet, 15 feet long, folds into something as compact as a Javanese or Tibetan sutra.” Robert Bringhurst. “What the Ink Sings to the Paper” in The Art of the Book in California: Five Contemporary Presses. Stanford University Libraries, 2011, 45. Book is hand-set type Samson Uncial printed letter press in six colors on kakishibu, persimmon-washed smoked handmade paper. Accordian binding; enclosure printed with a map of the world to show the world’s currents drawn by Athanasius Kircher in 1665. Full physical description and images in the catalog, 45-46.
