Sustainable design has the potential
to transform everyday life through an approach that balances environmental,
social, and aesthetic concerns. Beyond Green: Toward a Sustainable
Art, curated by Stephanie Smith, is a traveling exhibition that
examines some of the ways in which contemporary artists are exploring
socially and environmentally conscientious – in other words,
sustainable – ways of living and working. The exhibition is
co-organized by the Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago and
iCI, New York, and tours
October 2005 through December 2007.
