This article demonstrates that ecological art is a very specific art form that follows its own methods of creation and, consequently, of dealing with material and its definitions. This view of ecological art is directed by art theory factors and fundamental questions of art history. Therefore, the main question in discussions on material and the functions of art is that of what contemporary ecological art produces in terms of the concepts ‘natural’ and ‘nature-fair.’ By analysing the artists Thomas Dambo, Aviva Rahmani and Tómas Saraceno, this article finds that, compared to various artistic forms that deal with ecology and the environment, ecological art acts more in the physical reality of the environment and ecosystems. Subsequently, what ecological art is actually producing is ‘a nature thing’, meaning a concrete effect on or intervention in the environment with gestures of appropriation, regeneration and coexistence, being above all ‘art for nature.’ The article shows that, in ecological art, the linear relationship between material and artwork, in that the artist transforms the material to its final form, namely the artwork, is absent. In ecological art, the aim is an ongoing process in which material can have different facets: the material can be a mere auxiliary instrument, the art object itself can become material for something else and the material in general can be understood as an overarching aim and motive: nature.

自然之物:当代生态艺术产生了什么?

这篇文章表明生态艺术是一种非常特殊的艺术形式,它遵循自己的创作方法,因此处理材料及其定义。这种生态艺术观是以艺术理论因素和艺术史的基本问题为导向的。因此,关于艺术的材料和功能的讨论的主要问题是当代生态艺术在“自然”和“自然公平”的概念中产生了什么。通过分析艺术家Thomas Dambo、Aviva Rahmani和Tómas Saraceno,本文发现,与处理生态和环境的各种艺术形式相比,生态艺术更多地表现在环境和生态系统的物理现实中。随后,生态艺术实际生产的是“自然之物”,意味着通过挪用、再生和共存的姿态对环境产生具体影响或干预,首先是“自然艺术”。文章表明,在生态艺术中,材料与艺术品之间的线性关系,即艺术家将材料转化为其最终形式,即艺术品,是不存在的。在生态艺术中,目标是一个持续的过程,在这个过程中,材料可以有不同的方面:材料可以仅仅是一种辅助工具,艺术品本身可以成为其他东西的材料,一般来说,材料可以被理解为一个总体目标和动机:自然。艺术家将材料转化为最终形式,即艺术品,这一点是不存在的。在生态艺术中,目标是一个持续的过程,在这个过程中,材料可以有不同的方面:材料可以仅仅是一种辅助工具,艺术品本身可以成为其他东西的材料,一般来说,材料可以被理解为一个总体目标和动机:自然。艺术家将材料转化为最终形式,即艺术品,这一点是不存在的。在生态艺术中,目标是一个持续的过程,在这个过程中,材料可以有不同的方面:材料可以仅仅是一种辅助工具,艺术品本身可以成为其他东西的材料,一般来说,材料可以被理解为一个总体目标和动机:自然。
