Abstract

Facing the increasing adoption by today’s society of the ecologi- cal paradigm we wonder about the role of art and its value as a leader of the changes that are occurring. We understand ecology as a holistic term, integrating environ- mental responsibility with social and individual balance, and we consider that the capacity for critical and creative input featuring current artists are necessary tools to achieve a real change.
It will not really occur, in our opinión, if there is no ecological in- tegrity in artistic practice, so that, in order to approach the real- ity of these practices we have begun a series of interviews with some artists in order to serve as a reference for rigorous studies. We have found a widespread environmental concern but a large disparity between the consistency of intentions to practice. We also have tested a possible model of survey.
