Domesticating the Invisible examines how postwar notions of form
developed in response to newly perceived environmental threats, in
turn inspiring artists to model plastic composition on natural
systems often invisible to the human eye. Melissa S. Ragain focuses
on the history of art education in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to
understand how an environmental approach to form inspired new art
programs at Harvard and MIT. As they embraced scientistic theories
of composition, these institutions also cultivated young artists as
environmental agents who could influence urban design and
contribute to an ecologically sensitive public sphere. Ragain
combines institutional and intellectual histories to map how the
emergency of environmental crisis altered foundational modernist
assumptions about form, transforming questions about aesthetic
judgment into questions about an ethical relationship to the
environment.
