Barbican Art Gallery – The beauty and wonder of nature have provided inspiration for artists and architects for centuries. Since the 1960s, the increasingly evident degradation of the natural world and the effects of climate change have brought a new urgency to their responses. Radical Nature is the first exhibition to bring together key figures across different generations who have created utopian works and inspiring solutions for our ever-changing planet. Radical Nature draws on ideas that have emerged out of Land Art, environmental activism, experimental architecture and utopianism.

Radical Nature: Art and Architecture for a Changing Planet 1969-2009 shows at the Barbican Art Gallery in London from June 19 – Ocrober 18, 2009.  Over 50 special events will take place during this period, including: exhibits, talks and events, videos, Tree Radical (50 tree parade of London), audio talks, and more.
