Agnes Denes et al.
The exhibition title "Our Ecology" posits the questions: who are we, and to whom does earth’s environment belong?
This exhibition is diverse, covering everything from historical works to new works made especially for the exhibition. For example, as a protest against global warming and economic disparity, Agnes Denes’ 1982 conjuring of a wheatfield in the capitalist capital Manhattan offers an opportunity for fresh thought about the world today. The exhibition will also reexamine art produced and presented in Japan from the 1950s to 1970s, when pollution formed a dark downside to the country’s rapid economic growth, to reconsider today’s environmental problems from a Japanese standpoint. Furthermore, the Mori Art Museum itself will become an environment in its own right, with steps taken to make this an ecological show in terms of production as well as theme, such as reducing transportation to a minimum, and reusing and recycling resources. Contemplating how contemporary art and artists have engaged to date with environmental issues, and how they can do so in the future, "Our Ecology" will aim to explore the possibilities left for a sustainable future on a global scale.
