Art and climate change / by Fowkes, Maja,author.; Fowkes, Reuben,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A timely introduction to the fields of environmental art, art and ecology, art and climate change, art and activism, and art in the Anthropocene. Global awareness of climate change is increasing, and the scientific evidence is incontrovertible: an environmental crisis is upon us. Art and Climate Change presents an overview of ecologically conscious contemporary art that addresses the climate emergency, as artists across the world call for an active, collective engagement with the planet, and illuminate some of the structures that threaten humanity's survival. Across five chapters, curators Maja and Reuben Fowkes examine artworks that respond to the Anthropocene and its detrimental impact on our world, from scenes of nature decimated by ongoing extinction events and landscapes turned to waste by extraction, to art from marginalized communities most affected by the injustice of climate change. What guides the artists gathered here is an ardent concern for the living, breathing subject of the Earth and all fellow terrestrials caught up in this fast-moving climate drama"--Publisher's description.

Includes bibliographic references and index"Featuring strikingly lyrical contributions by Black, Latin American, and Native American artists, 'Black Earth Rising' assembles over 200 contemporary artworks that explore the complex ties between colonialism and the climate crisis--and in so doing, dramatically expands visual narratives on climate change. Taking as its origin the forced migration of people and early networks of commerce that reshaped lives and landscapes globally after European arrival in the Americas, the book offers an urgent reframing of climate discourse that places people of color at the center of the debate." --back cover

Includes bibliographical references.From July 12th 2019 to January 5th 2020, the Fondation Cartier presented "Trees", an ambitious exhibition devoted to trees, these exceptional living beings with unexpected faculties and yet widely threatened today. Boasting sensory and motor skills, capable of communication, existing in symbiosis with other species and the climate, trees are equipped with unexpected faculties whose discovery confirms what traditional knowledge has long since incorporated. The veil has been lifted on a fascinating world -- the world of plant intelligence -- which could be the answer to many of today s technological and environmental problems. "Trees" allows readers to discover all of the works presented in the exhibition through almost 500 images, as well as a rich ensemble of scientific and critical texts. -- From product description

The soul of all scenery : a history of the sky in art/ by Gedzelman, Stanley David,1944-;
The Soul of All Scenery is the definitive cultural and natural history of artistic discovery of the atmosphere's many faces - its colors, optical phenomena, clouds, signs of changing weather, and marks of climate, starting from the Ice Age and continuing to the present. Painted and real skies are compared and explained using a scientific perspective that has, in many cases, become available only during the past century, and long after many of the early artists first portrayed phenomena they identified but could not understand.
