Alan Sonfist nails it in this interview by John Grande with the RSA Arts & Ecology Magazine. The artist needs to actively seek solutions to improve the world. Yep it seems that society needs artists more than ever before - and it's about time the artists realized it!
John Grande:
So you would recommend as a strategy for young land and earth artists involved in the public sphere, to try venues outside the art world, natural history museums, botanical gardens and so on and so forth?
Alan Sonfist:
All my art involves a clear understanding of environmental issues and their unique relationship with the local community. Within the 21st century we have to redefine the role of the artist as an individual who is actively seeking solutions to improve our world.
