Contemporary Artist Xu Bing's Forest Project in Kenya Posted on Oct 9 2008 at 3:55pm by Contemporary Artist Xu Bing just launched Forestproject.net [www.forestproject.net] the online portal for his 木, 林, 森 (mu, lin, sen) Project (2005-ongoing).
The project seeks to establish a symbiotic funding mechanism to help rebuild forest greenbelts around Mount Kenya—a UNESCO world heritage site—through the online auction and sale of artworks created by students from the region.
Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), the University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAM/PFA) and the international conservation organization Rare as part of the exhibition Human/Nature: Artists Respond to a Changing Planet, the 木, 林, 森 Project can only succeed if you participate by visiting Forestproject.net and help spread the word.
