Manufactured Organic: Exploring The Environmental Implications Of Art
Curated by: 
Ryan Jones
Marisa McCarthy
Kate Stirr
2nd Sat Reception: 
Saturday, March 12, 2011 - 7:00pm to 10:00pm
Exhibition Dates: 
Mar 9, 2011 to Mar 26, 2011
Gallery Hours (or by appointment): 
Wednesday-Saturday, 2-6pm

The practice of making and exhibiting art is often at odds with environmental ideals. In addition to the material and processes used to create individual artworks, a typical exhibition consumes a large amount of material and energy, including paint for prepping gallery walls, electricity for gallery lighting, and packing material for safely transporting work to and from the exhibition.

Although working within the framework of a standard exhibition, Manufactured Organic encourages conversation about the environmental impact of the art world. Through progressively shifting their art practices to reflect a sense of ecological awareness, the artists included in Manufactured Organic pose sustainable solutions to the environmental issues inherent in exhibition process.

In an effort to offset the carbon footprint of this exhibition, a portion of the proceeds from Manufactured Organic will go toward the greening of Root Division.
