http://www.intercreate.org/view/dmap-artist-review4 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:06:45 GMT Why is artwork concerned with ecological issues often characterised as didactic or as ‘jumping on the band wagon’?Andrea Polli is an artist who is motivated by her strong ecological convictions as well as her imaginative exploration of technology’s potential rather than its limits. <p>Comment from the &#8220;band wagon&#8221;</p> <p>I have been making and exhibiting weather driven films, videos and installations since 1968 and have recently been much amused when a granting agency (which must of course remain nameless!) turned down an application for a wind driven digital media work on grounds that I was &#8220;just getting on the band wagon&#8221;. <br />Coincidence or not I would be very happy if any of you would like to join me on said band wagon which can be found at <a href="http://www.sfu.ca/~welsby" rel="nofollow">http://www.sfu.ca/~welsby</a> I am afraid the site is a little dusty due to lack of funding(!)but there are project descriptions, photo documentation, film clips and writings by myself and others. I will be visiting Auckland as artist in residence and exhibiting three installations including a new work at <span class="caps">MIC</span> gallery October 2009</p> http://www.intercreate.org/view/dmap-artist-review4#content_39154 http://www.intercreate.org/view/dmap-artist-review4#content_39154 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:06:45 GMT Chris Welsby
