Art and ecology: a necessary questioning
Abstract
The question of value in art seems twofold. On the one hand, we have the values internal to art, those that dominate the field of art, and, on the other hand, the values that an artwork defends or advocates for the whole society. These two sets can go in divergent or even opposite directions. Through the cases of ecology and the works of art that deal with this topic, this paper proposes to approach the question of the relations between these two levels of values, to conclude by affirming the need for a convergence between them.
