Jo-Ann and Robert Stewart Professor of Art Tom Rice is among 25 artists featured
in “Points of Return,” an online exhibit dedicated to climate change.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An online art exhibit dedicated to pushing for action against climate change while there\u2019s still hope for the planet features two artists with Kalamazoo College connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jo-Ann and Robert Stewart Professor of Art Tom Rice and alumna Bethany Johnson \u201907 were among the 25 international artists chosen from more than 300 entrants for \u201cPoints of Return<\/a>.\u201d The exhibit focuses on the harm humans have caused to the Earth, particularly since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, while emphasizing there are still multiple paths and approaches that can be taken to restore an environmental balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPoints of Return\u201d is presented by A La Luz, which translates from Spanish as \u201cspotlight\u201d or \u201cto shed light on.\u201d The group was founded in 2015 by environmental artists David Cass and Gonzaga G\u00f3mez-Cort\u00e1zar Romero to be a wide-ranging platform for sustainable and environmentally focused creative work. The exhibit unfolds across six sections, defined as viewing rooms, that describe a movement that comes full circle through planetary ecosystems, art disciplines and mediums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bethany Johnson \u201907, who is featured in \u201cPoints of Return,\u201d uses materials
such as chipboard, foam, hardboard, paper, plastic, plexiglass, particleboard,
plywood and wood in \u201cSafe Keeping,\u201d which deals with material consumption
and the resulting pollution, climate change and landfill waste.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rice\u2019s part of the exhibit<\/a> shows one of his projects, \u201cPrecarious Living,\u201d within the work he pursued for four months as a Fulbright Canada research chair in arts and humanities<\/a> at the University of Alberta. There, he exhibited a climate-themed installation titled \u201cShifting Uncertainties: The Land We Live On.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Points of Return\u2019 represents artists from many different parts of the world, which is important because climate change is a global issue,\u201d Rice said while calling his selection to the global exhibit an honor. \u201cWhat we do locally or nationally impacts areas of the world that contribute much less to the climate crisis. The online format of the exhibition ensures that many more people will have the opportunity to spend time with the artwork than if it had been a physical exhibition. Accessibility to information is critical to changing people\u2019s minds and behaviors related to climate-change issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rice used an Alberta-area oil refinery as the main visual resource for \u201cPrecarious Living.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope that my work will help people be self-reflective and ask questions about the climate crisis,\u201d Rice said. \u201c\u2018Precarious Living\u2019 is a large-scale drawing installation that poses more questions than it answers. The subject matter is focused on an oil refinery made up of a mass of pipes, upgraders, holding tanks, chimineas and flares that amount to an absurd maze of fragile connections. What is really going on here? How can we comprehend the impact of an industry that is the very foundation of our economy, but threatens our very existence? The drawings have large sections of redacted information. For me, these redacted or negated elements represent both subterfuge by the fossil fuel industries, and our own self-imposed delusion that we can continue burning fossil fuels and that technology will save us. \u2018Precarious Living\u2019 is about being at the tipping point of global warming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson\u2019s artwork is represented by Moody Gallery in Houston, Texas, and she is an Assistant Professor in the School of Art and Design at Texas State University. Her work<\/a> in \u201cPoints of Return,\u201d titled \u201cSafe Keeping,\u201d deals with material consumption and the resulting pollution, climate change and landfill waste. She feels those are important issues for artists to face given the work they pursue and how they pursue it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think there can be an attitude in the art world that one’s conceptual ideas must be realized by any means possible; that essentially, the scale, media and production methods must inherently follow from the artist’s greater conceptual idea,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThis can lead to an incredible amount of material consumption, energy use, and the utilization of toxic, unsustainable materials within the art world. Under the current conditions of our climate crisis, I feel that the art world is in desperate need of material and energy ethics; that we think seriously about the impacts of our work on the environment, and strive toward artmaking practices that are renewable, environmentally sensitive and even climate positive in their impacts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In line with the overall exhibition, Johnson\u2019s display embodies anxiety and hope along with grief and joy as she uses layered materials that are reminiscent of geological core samples, land formations and geological processes. Her materials include paper, plastic, foil food wrappers, aluminum and foam that bring new life to discarded waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope to offer an opportunity for discussion and reflection on the issues of human consumption and material waste, while also generating works that are entrancing and poetic, independently from their environmental themes,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIn this way, my goal is for them to contain \u2018layers\u2019 of meaning, which hopefully allows them to reach a wide audience in different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson said she doesn\u2019t blame artists\u2014or any individuals for that matter\u2014for the climate emergency as the problems that contribute to it are systemic, and intrinsic to capitalism, energy systems and powerful corporations. However, individuals must grapple with the results of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is where I think we can all recapture some power from that system by mindfully adopting ethical, responsible and sustainable models of living and working,\u201d she said. \u201cIt can be, at its best, a hopeful, even joyful, act of resistance and psychic repair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson feels that individuals who stay politically active can have great power against climate change and environmental problems by acting locally when they act together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMuch environmental policy and action happens at levels beyond the individual, so voting and getting involved with local and regional politics can be hugely impactful,\u201d she said. \u201cFor example, I live in a neighborhood in Austin, Texas, that used to house several environmentally toxic commercial facilities where oil had been leaching into the ground for years. A small group of concerned neighbors spent many years advocating for the cleanup and environmental remediation of these sites, and were eventually successful. The fact that I can live here with a sense of safety for my own health is thanks to a dedicated group of people working on a specific, concrete goal. Both in terms of the actual environmental impact as well as the sense of personal agency that it can create, I think finding a specific, actionable and realistic goal on a local level can have a great impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rice agrees that the collective actions of individuals are likely to be beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTimothy Morton asks in his book Hyperobjects: Philosophy and Ecology After the End of the World<\/em>, \u2018does my driving a Prius or recycling my plastic bottles really help,\u2019\u201d Rice said. \u201cI think the answer is no, of course not, but that doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t important to do those things. I think it was Elizabeth Kolbert in The Sixth Extinction<\/em> who points out it will take mass social movements to create real change related to the climate crisis. Social change happens a person at a time. Individually, we can\u2019t initiate real change, but we are part of a larger network. What we do individually matters.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
