¡Colores!; Michael Berman, Bill Gilbert, Erin Currier

KNME-TV (Television station : Albuquerque, N.M.) · 2014

Photographer Michael Berman shows us what is beyond the science of ecology by capturing the open spaces of New Mexico’s wilderness. “And I think art is really a way and aesthetics is a way… that I can look at the whole and admit I don’t understand.” New Mexico land artist Bill Gilbert shares his approach to creating art. “What makes land art is that there’s a consciousness about that dialogue, the dialogue with the land. It is about thinking about that relationship, your relationship as a human being to the planet as your subject matter, rather than an entirely human discourse.” Santa Fe artist Erin Currier transforms trash into works of beauty. “The trash deities naturally led to a more socio- political work because I began searching for those spiritual principles but in our day and age.” Host: Hakim Bellamy.
