12th Dec/ Xu Bing Forest Project Workshop/Sign up and Details

December 9th, 2009

Xu Bing Forest Project Workshop

Forest Project seeks to establish a self-sustaining system that links art lovers in developed countries with local communities in developing countries. Proceeds from developed countries in this system will be used for tree-planting purposes in the developing countries. The two worlds are linked symbiotically through online auctions of artwork created by students from primary schools. This time around, a tree-planting event in Hong Kong will be included as part of the project. The project hopes to increase environmental awareness through the different expressions in art form.
徐冰《木•林•森》計劃,是一個為地球恢復森林集資的自循環系統。這個系統將部分資金從相對富裕的地區不斷流到貧困的地區,為種樹所用。此次的計劃包括在香港種植樹木。 徐冰《木•林•森》計劃緣起于由美國聖地亞哥當代美術館,伯克利大學美術館及太平洋影片庫與國際資源保護機構 Rare(稀有)共同策劃的“人類/自然”項目。此項目邀請八位藝術家,分別深入到八個世界文化遺產保護地,用藝術的方式提高當地人對環境的保護意識。徐冰選擇了肯尼亞。
