Beall Center Art + Ecology Series: Hans Baumann
March 9, 2022 - 5:30pm
Organized by Margaret Oakley Hosted by Jesse Colin Jackson Sponsored by UCI Illuminations For the Beall Center Art + Ecologies Series, artist Hans Baumann discusses his practice in relation to the contemporary climate crisis. From past land art interventions at hypersaline lakes and abandoned coal mines to current research on archeological methodology and aquaria, Baumann will describe how conceptions of Nature and “the natural” delimit our understanding of the biosphere and constrain our ability to imagine and enact alternatives to fossil capitalism. In doing so, Baumann will foreground...

Beall Center Art + Ecology Series: Carolina Caycedo
February 16, 2022 - 5:30pm
Carolina Caycedo will discuss her body of work that addresses humanity’s relationship with nature. Informed by Indigenous philosophies, Caycedo’s art challenges us to understand nature not as a resource to be exploited, but as a living and spiritual entity that unites people beyond borders. Her innovative approach integrates her studio practice with actions in communities affected by mining, damming, and other resource extraction projects by corporations and governments. Caycedo’s work invites viewers to consider the unsustainable pace of growth under capitalism—and how we might bolster...
