Artist Carrie Marill's "Fucking Liberal Life"

In 1987, the United Nations' Bruntland Commission defined the concept of sustainable development as "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs..." Is this an accurate definition? Certainly. Does it capture the imagination, and prod people to action? Probably not... This Fall, Arizona State University's Art Museum is going to take another, and very different, stab at formulating a definition for sustainability. A series of projects gathered under the title Defining Sustainability will not only display artistic renderings of the concept (or specific examples of it, such as greener transportation or recycled shade structures), but also bring together "artists and designers, faculty and students [to] engage the greater Phoenix community in their creative processes and in conversations about sustainability."]]> http://www.sundancechannel.com/sunfiltered/2009/07/asu-art-museum-sustainability-definitions-fall-exhibitions/feed/ 3
