interventions + sustainability

I just came across this interesting blog that explores the relationship between contemporary art and notions of environmental sustainability. Lots of interesting stuff relating loosely to some of the things that both Rhi and I are interested in exploring for our LBB project...

Some of the entries also talk a little about process-driven art compared with the commodity of art, which relates to a conversation the five of us had last night about collaborative models, post-modernist theory and artistic motivation.

Rhi: some stuff relating to your intervention ideas, which are worth checking out as well...

xD

Interesting. I wonder where this project fits within the sustainability debate:

What was the artist's point? Should it be preserved? Is it sustainable? Is the use of local materials a good thing? Etc?

I find this work interesting because I saw a DVD about it at the Institute of Modern Art in Brisbane.
