I've been thinking about "GREEN ART". Most of the art criticism conversations that I have been a part of for almost a year include this term. What is this. I think that it is the thing that all of my art professors warned me about in college....propaganda art is not really art. After all if the first thing you see is the label GREEN and not the art itself, then it is not art. I think that it falls into the category of political art or politically correct art. This term bugs me. The fiber artists that profess green have recycled some form of garbage or recycled some piece of fiber that is not traditionally used in quilting. With one exception, that is all I see first, some clever use of junk. The art takes a back seat. It is also a very good ticket into the current shows. I see a formula: How to get a piece of fiber into the latest show. Use some form of trash, regardless of what you have to say, and you may be assured a place in the latest show. It's a trend is all I am saying. I want to know why green art is good......does it really save the planet....I don't think so.
