From The Podcast

Throughout history, green has evoked utopian visions of a world in perfect harmony. Over time, these visions have moved in and out of focus; today green is once again at the heart of our terrestrial conscience, infiltrating all spheres and disciplines. And yet, green’s generative potential has been limited by its establishment as a bounded category, allowing one audience to reject what is not green on grounds of ethics or performance while enabling another to dismiss what is as too limiting or exclusionary. This resulting false binary has reduced the (green) discourse-now either too easily embraced or too easily dismissed-and omitted the infinite shades of green and its potential to inspire endless creative invention (that exists and has existed.) Re-appropriating green and looking at it as a complex, multi-faceted strategy moving across, time, scale, typology, aesthetics, and resource reveals its generative complexity as well as its discursive, performative and formal richness. By including the green movement’s early authors from the 1970s alongside some of today’s preeminent voices, the notion of green is reinscribed in its long history, fragmenting into innumerable trajectories, the collection of which will represent its strategic proliferation and potential.This series was organized by Dan Wood and Amale Andraos.
