Edith,

One of your best resources for finding artists will be be greenmuseum.org.

Also any one of the general books on art and ecology

resources will have a score of examples: e.g. Baile Oakes: Sculpting the Environment is good

Ukeles is a classic but one other person who comes to mind immediately is Susan Steinman who has done this from

time to time, but there are many others.

Sending you also my websites http://www.library.cmu.edu/Research/Arts/Art/art_enviro and

http://www.greenarts.org/ which may help.

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Artists using "green" resources

I have a grad student in our CADRE Institute (http://cadre.sjsu.edu/) who is trying to put together a proposal for a public art sculptural project that can somehow measure climate change/global warming. She has no science background, so this is a real challenge. I've pointed her toward our engineering resources and am trying to find someone in our Meteorolgy Dept. who might be interested in helping her out.

The other portion of her question is quoted below, and it's a tricky one to research, because a lot of the potentially useful terms aren't subject headings but pull up a lot of false drops as keywords. I've been finding mostly Third World artists (OK), or stuff that focuses on design or K-12 art projects (not what she wants). I'll continue to plow ahead but if any of you well-informed folks out there know of artists who might fit this definition, I'd be grateful for some proper names...or any other advice. I've been looking in Art Full Text, ArtBib, DAAI.

"I am looking for Contemporary, Modern or Post-Modern artists that have not just repurposed art but have also used material such as solar panels, bamboo, recycled tires, alternative and green renewable resources."
