Nature on Notice: Contemporary Art and Ecology

Work by artist Tristan Duke will be included in this Getty PST sponsored LACMA Exhibition.

In the Anthropocene—the current geological age in which human activity has been the dominant influence on the environment—lens-based artists are imaging an even more rapidly changing ecology. This show featuresmore than 20 artists from around the globe engaged in a visual dialogue about the “new nature” we are living in. Illuminating the need for both artistic and scientific imagination to counter threats to our ecology, these makers speak sensitively to the changes they are witnessing or, as a counterpoint, refer to cultures that have long revered nature while most of the world has steadily consumed it.
