http://www.teaneckcreek.org/

My career for two decades has been working with communities, nonprofits, conservation agencies, and local governments on the development and implementation of natural resources conservation projects, including the revitalization of urban watersheds and parks. I became the first executive director of the nonprofit Teaneck Creek Conservancy, Inc. in January 2003. My mission at the Conservancy has been to help a family foundation, artist in residence, community groups, and local governments implement community-based plans to transform a historic dumpsite at the intersection of I-80 and the New Jersey Turnpike into a new county park (excerpted from "Maintenance of Eco-Art Restoration Projects" on greenmuseum.org).

ALCHEMY:http://poeticsofbread.blogspot.com

Eva Bakkeslett is a cultivator in the field of Arts & Ecology. She plants seeds to encourage social growth and environmental change, and cultivates her art with a desire to reenergize our engagement with, and sense of awareness of, the earth. Her passion lies in the interface between nature and culture, and using any suitable medium, she spends time in playful exploration and often contextualising her work by orchestrating interactive community events. Through these activities the subtle and invisible wonders of life reveal themselves, and through reconnecting with the infinite complexity and elegant beauty of our planet her work ultimately inspires and engages people to sense, feel, think and act.

Bolender, Karin
rural Georgia, U.S.A.
mud@aliassxing.net
http://www.aliassxing.net

Karin Bolender’s work in embodied poetics explores the seams between landscapes (all the faunal, floral, and mineral forms that inhabit them) and human acts of memory and imagination. Her main investigations involve collaborative roadside journeys with assorted humans and other spectacular animals (very especially two American Spotted she-Asses, Aliass and Passenger) in the rural American South (including “The Dead-Car Crossing” in 2004 and the “’Can We Sleep in Your Barn Tonight?’ MYSTERY TOUR” in 2006). Present practice includes slow-ass roping and riding tricks that involve special kinds of attention to the local bioregion, in an ongoing series of time- and place-based performances called “The Dive Rodeo.”

Hinrichsen, Sonja
sonja@s-hinrichsen.net
www.sonja-hinrichsen.net

My works are art/research projects in which I examine natural, urban and industrial environments and respond to my perceptions of them. I map them photographically, with video and sound recordings, while at the same time researching their specifics. These may be historical details, Native American stories, cultural, societal, anthropological backgrounds and/or aspects of natural history. With the materials collected during
my mappings and the results of my studies I create media installations using video projections, sound collages and narrative. I have recently experimented with subtle interventions directly in nature, using nature elements as my material. Since I have lived most of my life in Europe, the vast lands spreading across the American continent are exciting to me, so is their short and eventful history and the rapid transformations they have undergone within only a few centuries. I am particularly drawn to extreme landscapes, in an ecological, climatic, topographical, geographical sense. I am interested in human impacts on natural environments, as well as man's perception of and relationship to the land in different cultures and throughout history.

Stefa is trained and gained experience internationally in different creative areas (acting, film, Tango Argentino). Her talents and interest made her engage in bodywork-techniques (massage, Shiatsu, Yoga) as well. Being in nature and observing nature, the rhythms and patterns of it, is one of her most precious inspirations and teachers. Living and working on organic farms in France and Italy she got involved in Permaculture and Systems Thinking.
As everything naturally evolves in cycles, also a learning process is not a linear one, thus being an ever present aspect of Stefas life and work. Integrating all this different approaches and knowledge, she is now working as artist and sustainability educator. Focus of her projects are the communication and implementation of an eco-centered, integrated way of experiencing, thinking and living.

Lars Schmidt, founder of Art, Ecology & Education, is creating and facilitating transformative processes and projects for integrated, sustainable living. His work would like to inspire authentic access to knowledge and insight about an integrated way of perceiving, thinking, acting and relating – regarding life as a creative, self-organizing process and providing the opportunity to develop a lifestyle which is sustainable, meaning- and delightful. Projects often explore and communicate the meaning of music and dance for living and life-sustaining cultures, at the same time, Lars is working with and integrating various forms of creative expression. In its essence Art, Ecology & Education is an individual undertaking to integrate and implement the idea of life as a creative process.

“Roy Staab's earth-sensitive site-specific installations use locally available materials and result in ephemeral earthworks that devolve back into nature. Set into nature, they provide a rational counter-structure that edifies the viewer. The effect is one of holding a mirror to nature, reminding us of the context within which the artwork resides.” (John K. Grande)

Tauber, Joel
LA, CA
Adjunct Faculty, USC
joeltauber@gmail.com
http://www.joeltauber.com/

Joel Tauber explores elemental philosophical questions about our relationships to nature and the environment in an often quixotic approach. In past projects, he has tried to find spiritual experience by inserting himself into holes in the ground, by flying in the air suspended by helium balloons, and by diving into the ocean to compose music with his body. His latest endeavor, “Sick-Amour”, describes his four year-long love affair to a forlorn Sycamore tree in parking lot K at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. In a 12-channel video installation and a series of photographs, Tauber chronicles how he first fell in love with this tree and then embarked on a quest to improve its living conditions, to build a museum in its honor, and finally, to help it reproduce. 200 tree babies are now being planted throughout California as a series of public art projects. A number of permanent tree baby shrines are being placed at various California institutions; at schools, tree babies are adorned by large sculptural necklaces that are composed of student sculptures and boulders with plaques from the tree museum.

Jeroen van Westen

My goal is to present the origins of a landscape in such a way that (re)interpretation of the environment becomes possible by taking the locally encountered relationship between Nature and Culture as subject. The resulting works can take the form of temporary installations/performances, books, permanent constructions, but mostly the public space, the landscape itself, becomes material for a meaningful (re)design. Critical explorations into the qualities of urban or rural landscape form the point of departure. Each work is site specific inviting cultural self reflection by uncovering cultural history and creating favorable conditions for nature to re-establish in a better readable landscape.

Wells, Shan

I am drawn by things felt deeply in the heart, but not transferable through any media. Situations occur in which I'm acting as a sampler of material, an assayer, compiler, or comparer. Natural geometries often occur in my work, implying both structured nature and human invention. I believe there is a creative force that runs through human culture, thought, and expression. The expression of this force is not limited solely to our species. Elephants draw it, orca sing it, and bower birds sculpt it. The forms made by animals are therefore a source of inspiration to me as well.
