Episode description

“If the Anthropocene is how we label our current geologic epoch, then its cultural corollary is the Anthroposcenic, an era in which our understanding of nature and culture are re-integrated.” —William L Fox, director of the Center for Art + Environment, Reno, Nevada Before his address at NGV International, William L Fox took a seat at MPavilion for a chat with Guy Abrahams (co-founder and CEO of CLIMARTE) in a lunchtime discussion about how art and nature are merging in this Anthroposcenic age. Is it good for art? Is it good for Earth? Can art help us through the environmental challenges we face—and have, in an extraordinarily large part, created? And should it? Listen back on the conversation, as William and Guy explored creative human interventions on the environment—and questioned if we can, or should, harness art’s power for our own benefit.
