Description:
Welcome to The Art + Environment Conference at the Nevada Museum of Art. We're launching this new initiative with a conference in October, and we hope you will join us to talk about how and why art has become just as important as science in understanding the nature of environments.
Just as scientists in the 1960s began crossing disciplines to understand how environments work, so artists started to mix genres in order to model our relationship with them. Sculptors stopped working with clay and steel in their studios and went directly to the earth. Architects became installation artists and digital cartographers. Painters and photographers became participant-observers in agriculture and industry.
We're bringing together artists, designers, writers, and scientists from around the country to discuss how they change-and are changed by-the natural, built, and virtual environments in which they work.
-William L. Fox, The Conference Lead Moderator
