"It’s Not Easy" Exhibition
Exit Art
This event has ended.
"It’s Not Easy" is an exhibition inspired by the recent tidal wave of efforts to go “green.” As new buildings seek LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, as major corporations seek to “green” their practices, and as global warming puts the need to be green at the forefront, we are virtually inundated with social pressures to be environmentally sustainable. But how is the word ‘green’ really interpreted? Exit Art asked that question to artists, activists and the general public to solicit their personal responses through email. The photographs, texts, drawings, graphics and other works in "It’s Not Easy" are printed on 8½” x 11” recycled paper, giving equal – and sustainable – attention to each work. With over 300 responses, "It’s Not Easy" explores the multiplicity of cultural, environmental and political meanings of "green." This is the second exhibition of SEA (Social Environmental Aesthetics), a major new exhibition program and archive initiative in Exit Underground that presents social and environmental issues and the way artists respond to them.
