Contemporary art historians and curators Maja and Reuben Fowkes (Translocal.org) present their on-going research into the Ecological Footprint of Contemporary Art. Their talk will concentrate on the phenomenon of international biennials of contemporary art and ask how the ecological impact of major international art gatherings might be measured. They consider the extent to which ecological issues are beginning to be taken seriously be participants in art biennials and whether a biennial culture of globetrotting artists, curators and other art professionals can be justified.
