Susan Boafo "Speaking With The Sun"Artful Ecologies is a publication to coincide with the RANE (research in art, nature and environment) conference Artful Ecologies held in Falmouth, Cornwall 2006 led by Daro Montag. The conference was held to look at the global crisis we face as a result of climate change, and the role of the artist within the subject. The book includes a collection of papers submitted by speakers, and accounts of work produced by artists, largely in the local environment.
Speakers included Tim Collins, Reiko Goto, John K. Grande, Stacy Levy, F. David Peat, Alan Sonfist, George Steinmann and Suzi Gablik who was unable to attend but provided a paper for the conference. Each of the speakers contributed views on art into today’s society, focusing on our environment, and delving into the subjects of spirituality, symbolism and the world of the transdiscipinary.
Artists include Stephen Turner, Jane Atkinson, Susan Boafo, Georg Dietzler, Martin Prothero, Dave Pritchard, Stacy Righton, Andy Webster, Jon Bird and Kerry Morrison. Similarly the work produced comes from the transdicsiplinarity and multidisciplinary of art, science and nature. Processes vary from data collection of geology and water properties, through to natural phenomenon and electro chemistry, each producing visual interpritations from the information gathered.
My own practice is currently residing in the transdisciplinary of art nature and science. This book is of particular interest to me, giving an insight into practises and processes used by artists working within my field. It also provides a range of areas for further research and artists to look at.
