The Macro look at world politics and its relationship to art/design in light of the changing climate, how have artists responded to these larger forces? John Zarobell, SFMOMA; Ignacio Valero, CCA; Jay Jasper Pugao, Environmental Service Learning Initiative; Moderator: Rhonda Holberton.
John Zarobell
John Zarobell is Assistant Curator of Painting and Sculpture, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. John will be discussing Landscape and Ecology in Colonial Algeria. In the nineteenth century, French scientists and governmental officials transformed the landscape of the country that would come to be known as Algeria. Artists--from painters, to illustrators, to photographers--helped frame this new colonial space and made it apprehensible to residents of France through the pictorial conventions of landscape. This talk will discuss some of these changes in the land and how the developments of this period continue to affect the way we see landscape today.
