• The divide between nature and culture has come to be seen as a false
dichotomy
• Humans are part of the natural world
• Understand of nature comes through cultural interpretation
• Environmental art has been made throughout history, but with different
concerns and interests depending on the era
• Social, political and scientific shifts in the 1960s and ‘70s changed the way
we view and understand the environment
• Artists working with the environment haven’t all been environmentalists
• Different approaches to the environment depending on the
interests and approach of the artist
• Though many artists have engaged with the environment to
express ecological and political concerns
