Arts Sutton Gallery is pleased to present, for the third year in a row, a series of lectures given by well-known figures in the artistic community. The title of the fourth lecture is Art & Ecology: Natural and Manufactured Art and it will be given in English by John K. Grande at 2 p.m. on Saturday November 7, 2009.
Writer, art critic, and curator John K. Grande will treat us to a comprehensive talk covering contemporary art practices related to landscape, ecological issues, and technology. More specifically, he will deal with the divergence between the natural and the manufactured in the language of arts production of our era.
John K. Grande, a graduate in art history from the University of Toronto, now lives in Montréal. He has published numerous catalogue essays on selected artists, and his reviews and feature articles have appeared in Artforum, Vice Versa, Sculpture, Art Papers, British Journal of Photography, Espace Sculpture, Landscape Architecture, Public Art Review, and Vie des Arts. Much of his writing focuses on artists working with, in and around nature and the environment. The imagery, materials, methods, and the sitting of works provoke reflection on the ethics of art making and on political, social, and scientific themes. Through his published interviews, reviews, essays, and curatorial projects, Grande has contributed to awareness and understanding of the work of a diverse range of influential and innovative artists from Canada and around the world.
Grande is the author of several books, including, Intertwining: Landscape, Technology, Issues, Artists (1998). In this book he responds to a number of issues including animal rights, violence and children’s toys, art and illness, and the effects of the Internet on museums and education.
