What is the role of the arts in the global environmental crisis?Helen Mayer Harrison and Newton Harrison, known as 'the Harrisons', dedicated five decades to exploring and demonstrating a new approach to artistic practice, centred on "doing no work that does not attend to the wellbeing of the web of life." Their collaborative practice pioneered a way of drawing together art and ecology. They closely observed, often with irony and humour, how human intervention disrupts the dynamics of life as a web of interrelationships. The authors of this book 'think with' the Harrisons, critically tracing their poetics as a reimaging and reconfiguring of the arts in response to the unfolding planetary crisis. They draw parallels between the artists' poetics and rethinking in the philosophy of science, particularly drawing on the work of Isabelle Stengers. Thinking with the Harrisons is for anyone concerned with the implications of ecological concerns as a reimagining of public life, including the interaction of art and science. Throughout their joint practice, the Harrisons sought to engage policy makers, governments, ecologists, artists, and inhabitants of specific places, sensitizing us to the crises that emerge from grounded experiences of place and time.
