This document provides an overview of an art lecture about art, place, and the environment. It discusses how the nature-culture divide is now seen as false, and how humans are part of the natural world. Environmental art has existed throughout history but with different concerns depending on the era. Since the 1960s and 70s, social, political, and scientific shifts changed how we view the environment. The lecture highlights various artists who have engaged with environmental themes in their work in order to express ecological and political concerns, though not all were environmentalists. It examines different approaches artists have taken depending on their interests.
