Contemporary art historians and curators *Maja and Reuben Fowkes*
(Translocal.org) present their on-going research into the Ecological
Footprint of Contemporary Art. Their talk will concentrate on the
phenomenon of international biennials of contemporary art and ask how
the ecological impact of major international art gatherings might be
measured. They consider the extent to which ecological issues are
beginning to be taken seriously be participants in art biennials and
whether a biennial culture of globetrotting artists, curators and other
art professionals can be justified.
