The works of the 25 artists presented in Greenwashing. Environment: Promises, Perils and Perplexities do not just passively lament the degradation of our planet, or provide pragmatic solutions. Instead they actively articulate the contradictions and responsibilities that we are encountering personally and as a society. The artists presented in Greenwashing – a term used to describe misleading ecological practices – do not necessarily proclaim a 'correct' ethical or 'green' agenda, but allow the possibility for broadening and analysing our understanding of what ecology might mean today. Their works often adopt process-based and speculative approaches concerning fundamental ecological subjects such as energy and resource use. Likewise, several artists in the exhibition consider waste, water, land use, the air we breathe and the oil we consume, offering a critical perspective on the perils, promises and perplexities that have emerged as our climate changes.
