Abstract

Abstract:

This article intends to explore the convergent relationship between ecology and contemporary art, by questioning the semantic uncertainty that concerns the insurgency of ecological ethics in art production from the 1960s, namely in movements such as land art and environmental art, in order to assess a more pragmatic definition of ecological art in the current art world.
