    FILM Art 21: Ecology and Artist Panel at CCMA
Friday, October 29 at 6:30 pm, Cape Cod Museum of Art presents Ecology, filmed for the 2007 Season 4 of Art21. Held in the Cape Cod Museum of Art auditorium, the event, open to the public, is free of charge. The screening is followed by a panel discussion with area artists. This event is produced in collaboration with Art21, Inc., a non-profit contemporary art organization serving artists, students, teachers, and the general public worldwide.
How is our understanding of the natural world deeply cultural? The Art:21 documentary Ecology explores these questions in the work of the artists Robert Adams, Mark Dion, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, and Ursula von Rydingsvard, delving into the work of these four artists who explore the relationship of nature and culture, including the submission of wilderness to civilization, the foundations of scientific knowledge, the impact of technology on biology, and our relationship to the Earth forged by working the land. Ecology was shot on location in New York City, NY; Los Angeles, CA; Chicago, IL; Rochester, MN; Seattle, WA; Astoria, OR; Cape Disappointment, WA; King County, WA; Beach Lake, PA; and Williamstown, MA.
