Award 2021
Welcome to the Social Art Award 2021 – Online Gallery!
We are grateful for the many inspiring contributions from artists around the world. The selected works reflect a broad spectrum of contemporary social art practices and explore new relationships between humans, nature, and technology. They address themes such as ecological regeneration, climate justice, sustainable futures, social resilience, and more-than-human perspectives.
Below you will find the submissions from the Social Art Award 2021 – New Greening edition that passed the initial jury round. The Online Gallery offers public visibility to these works and encourages dialogue around their ideas and approaches; it does not replace the final jury decision.
Thank you to all artists for sharing your visionary and committed work. We invite you to explore the gallery and engage with the perspectives shaping New Greening.
Cloud
Rose Magee
Cloud focuses on the distance between societies actions and nature's needs through mass consumerism and consumption. Made as a means to research the possibilities of materials that are currently filling landfill sites and to develop a more sustainable art practice. The sculpture uses waste lightbulbs as the main material. A playful piece, that simultaneously questions the amount of waste we as a society accumulate. Emphasis is placed on the worrying distance we have created between our current reality and a sustainable society.
