Opening Sat July 15
Humane Ecology: Eight Positions opens at the Clark on Saturday. It features eight artists who explore the inseparability of nature and society. Each represents a distinct approach and place, or position, but all think in ecological terms—i.e., about the complex relationships between living things and their environments. They challenge ideas of “nature” as something separate from humans. They also center humans who have often been marginalized in discussions of the environment.
