on art and the environment/ecological sciences. It is not specifically
focused on evolutionary biology, however. Rather, the focus is on
ecosystems, biosystems, and the environment, and the many ways in which
artists' work specifically engage in this arena. The second and subsequent
iterations of the course have brought these ideas together with
philosophical writings, to create a relationship between studio practice and
critical studies. If you are interested I can post a syllabus.
