Exhibit Description: Can art inspire conservation? Can conservation inspire art? Human/Nature: Artists Respond to a Changing Planet began six years ago in the form of these questions, triggering an unusual collaboration and an extraordinary and circuitous journey. BAM/PFA, in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) and the international conservation organization Rare, commissioned eight of the world’s most thoughtful and innovative artists to travel to eight UNESCO-designated World Heritage sites and to create new works of art in response to their travels and experiences there.

The projects reached around the globe. Mark Dion traveled to Indonesia, to Komodo National Park; Marcos Ramírez ERRE went to the Three Parallel Rivers area of Yunnan, China. Diana Thater chose to work at iSimangaliso Wetland Park in South Africa, and Xu Bing, at Mount Kenya National Park. Dario Robleto traveled to Waterton Glacier International Peace Park on the U.S./Canadian border; Ann Hamilton, to the Galápagos Islands; Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, to El Vizcaíno Biosphere Reserve in Mexico; and Rigo 23, to the Atlantic Forest South-East Reserves in Brazil. Travelers on a mission, the artists had to negotiate their roles as tourists, explorers, and documentarians, always maintaining a sensitive awareness of their position as outside observers.
