Abstract
Art actions, objects, writing, documents and installations are the forms used to examine human nature through the lenses of ecological crises and militancy. The artwork attempts to sharpen the viewer’s awareness of social mechanics of our species and challenge the viewer to consider solutions to seemingly intractable disputes that mesh well with our nature. The inherently dangerous nature of many of the works makes them impossible for an audience to experience directly in a gallery. The desire to present them as living works of art in a gallery, in contrast to documentation of a past event, required a re-examination of the relationship between the object and its documentation. I have come to the conclusion that all of the ephemera – videos, writing, flyers, performances – create a world for the art object and allow for communication between the world of the art object and our world.
