Living in a Sustainable Manner

In the second half of the twentieth century, artistic movements made pushes in order to move beyond the traditional gallery space, changing the terrain of displaying and making art. An artist’s body of work no longer needed to reside inside of a gallery or art collection, and artists became free to explore other ways of creating and displaying work. In this vein, Andy Goldsworthy works sculpturally with natural media, and leaves the sculptures within a particular environment, often expecting his work to decay quickly. Many times, the only evidence of any art he makes is the photographs taken during the process. By more traditional standards, art of this nature is entirely contradictory. What is the point of pieces of visual art that cannot

Unfinished Masterpieces by Anita Scott Coleman refers to Coleman’s childhood friend, the sculptor Augusta Savage. She reminisced her childhood growing up with Savage, and how they would have spent hours on their favorite “spot”, where her friend would mold different things out of mud. Coleman described the place they frequented lined up with molded stuffs out of mud. As a kid, she spent hours quietly watching her playmate work with mud with delight on her face. She marveled how she can do such kind of art. Augusta oblivious of the children nearby spent hours working with mud. Coleman described how fragile the mud-molded stuffs. The sun-cured ones break easily when they fall, while the moist ones get deformed easily when touched. She also recalled

The theme of aestheticizing waste material is consistent across all of the works on display, and forms a central tenant of the artist’s practice. I admire the dedication and craftsmanship of her work but is the exhibition labouring the point with the same concept governing all the pieces? Perhaps that is the point; the artist is also duplicating the work, invoking mass production albeit in a painstakingly slow fashion.

After her initial award, this then led Gray to find a directing role within the store Habitat, where she leant how the global retail world works and operates. After several years, she left her job in pursue of her passion, starting her own eponymous studio in 2008. Collaboration with other businesses soon became the main focus of Gray’s work, as she designed best-selling collections and high-profile pieces, only seen in some of the world’s most luxury stores, including Lane Crawford, Liberty and Harrods. Gray has also held an exhibition in London by the name of “Inside Design”. The exhibition mainly focused on her recent work in natural materials and resources. It allowed visitors an insight into Gray’s approach to her craft, breaking down the work and motivation that goes into her designs. More recently, Gray has received a new award of “Best British Designer” for 2013/2014, as well as appearing in countless articles of magazines, ranging from the Daily Telegraph to Alto, a luxury design

The materials used in the documentary is somewhat different to traditional art materials mainly because people mostly use a canvas and paint to create portraits or take a photograph and such. Many other artists have used recycled materials to

Our intrepid duo delves into their delightfully diverse cultural background and their travels around the world for the inspired custom made pieces that enhance the aesthetics of homes and public buildings.

Many times people have used discarded items for their art. Patchwork quilts are created from scraps, rags, and remnants that a person finds in the trash. Quilters then combine the trash to make a new, beautiful pattern. In New York, some artists created a sculpture garden and performance space out of a gas station. They turn abandoned cars and other urban debris into a community work of art that continues to grow. (Miller 3) Famous artist Pablo Picasso collected all kinds of discarded items he found and created sculptures. One of his most famous sculptures was Bull’s Head. Bull’s Head created in 1942, is made from a bicycle seat and handlebars cast in bronze. (Miller 5) Art can be created from discarded items and possibly even nature.

For many years, artists have been documenting the beauty of the natural world surrounding them, but few have used the materials given them by nature to create a work of art. Andy Goldsworthy is a sculptor and photographer who creates art out of almost any natural material that the earth provides including ice, snow, sticks, leaves, rocks, sand, clay, etc. A majority of Goldsworthy’s sculptures are ephemeral, resulting in Goldsworthy’s use of photographs as a way to document all of his art. His “approach to the photograph is kept simple, almost routine. All work, good and bad, is documented.

Her current studio practice focuses on works that explore her interests in mark making as it relates to a pattern, drawing and personal expression. Stinson works ranges from the functional to sculptural. Each format is a way for her to engage the viewer on different and multiple levels. Stinson also utilizes multiple methods of making, throwing, slip casting, and press molding, to attain a variety of effects and unique characteristics in the finished work. These process and surfaces help to develop the underlining content in the finished pieces.

The Vogel’s are best known as the postal worker and librarian who on their civil service salaries collected what is considered the greatest personal collection of paintings, drawings and sculptures. Over the past 50 years the Vogel’s have acquired over 4,500 works of art. The Vogel’s primarily was interested in abstract expressionism, minimalist, post minimalist and conceptual art. The scope of the Vogel’s collection is remarkable; however, their unique approach to collecting has caught the eye of the art world.

When I was five years old I began school. In Kindergarden we learned basic things like letters, numbers, and how not to be fully engulfed in flames. For some reason, 2004 was the height of anti-fire education in Missouri and before I knew how to tie my shoes I knew that if I ever was ablaze, to cover my face, fall to my knees, and roll back and fourth. This is what my institution placed serious value upon and because I was a student of that institution I also placed serious value upon it. The same idea must be applied to a university's teaching of environmental sustainability. This is discussed in David Orr's "What is Education For?" Through choosing a curriculum a university chooses what it places value onto, by making the environment a priority it showcases to the future generations that environmental wellness is an important responsibility for them to take ownership.

Tuan uses the idea of spaciousness to illustrate a sense of freedom, an idea which is also expressed in my example of my everyday space. In my space on the edge of the triangular deck overlooking the ocean I feel a sense of serenity and peace as its allows me to have the freedom I crave. This space has both mental and physical elements which are expressed through the vastness of the space, therefore equating to freedom. Physically the deck is quite small in comparison to the surrounding sea and greenery and would be appealing to someone like the eager child discussed by Tuan. Mentally the deck is spacious and free in comparison to the city, as the city connotates work, stress and restriction.

There are many ways to define sustainability and to answer the question of whether we live in a sustainable society you should first define the question. The simplest definition of what a sustainable society is still very complex. A society that can persist over generations, one that is farseeing enough, flexible enough, and wise enough not to undermine either its physical or its social systems of support (Hubbard, 1996).

In today’s global economy sustainability is very important; from the biological aspect to the industries they all play a role on the marine environment. As world population increases the demand of fish rises causing overfishing. Certain laws have been placed to limit the amount of wild fishing to reduce the risk of endangerment. To meet the demand of the population, fish farms are introduced. Pollution and health related issues are part of the challenges of fish farming. Sustainability also affects social areas such as beaches.
