Elemental : an arts and ecology reader

Gaia Project is a publishing and curatorial initiative which operates at the intersection of Art and Ecology – or indeed, in that poetic space where Art becomes Ecology, and where Ecology becomes Art.

Elemental is an ‘introductory reader’, comprising a unique collection of essays by some of the world’s leading artists, activists, curators and writers currently working in the expansive, interdisciplinary field of arts and ecology. The book presents critical reflections, and philosophies on a variety of eco-art practices and methodologies.

Subject fields include: New Materialism, socially-engaged ecosystem restoration, Critical Theory, the legal ‘Rights of Nature’, and ecology in theatre and performance art.
