By paying tribute to matter, materiality and materialisation, the
examples of contemporary art assembled in What's Next? Eco
Materialism and Contemporary Art challenge the social, cultural and
ethical norms that prevailed in the twentieth century. This
significant frontier of contemporary culture is identified as Eco
Materialism because it affirms the emergent philosophy of Neo
Materialism and attends to the pragmatic urgency of
environmentalism. In this highly original book, Linda Weintraub
surveys the work of 40 international artists who present
materiality as a strategy to convert society's environmental
neglect into responsible stewardship. These bold art initiatives,
enriched by their associations with philosophy, ecology and
cultural critique, bear the hallmark of a significant new art
movement. This accessible text, written for students and a wider
readership, is augmented with interactive opportunities that
actuate eco material attitudes and behaviours. They invite readers
to engage in this timely arena of contemporary art. Printed in high
quality black and white throughout, colour reproductions of the
artworks discussed are available to view through the author's
website.
