Her interdisciplinary artworks operate at the confluence of art and science.〔Lippard, Lucy R.

Laramee currently lives in Brooklyn, NY, and Santa Fe, NM.〔Miles, Malcolm. New Practices- New Pedagogies: A Reader; Routledge, London, 2005〕 She is also the founder and director of ART/MEDIA for a Nuclear Free Future. ==Work summary== Laramee's interest in the history and culture of science has resulted in collaborations with physicists, hydrologists, geologists, biogeographers, and ecologists since the 1980s.〔Ball, Phillip. Chemical Aesthetics, UK Royal Society of Chemistry, 2005〕〔Weintraub, Linda. In the Making: Creative Options for Artists, New York, NY DAP Press 2003〕 Laramee believes that, "by sharing innovations, art-and-science collaborations can energize action to initiate positive social change and promote awareness of environmental and health issues by directly involving communities, extending ways in which cultures imagine, create and understand." 〔Hannah, Dehlia. "Performative Experiments: Aesthetic Interventions in the Philosophy of Science" PhD Dissertation, Columbia University, 2012〕〔Polli, Andrea. Transdiscourse, "Mediated Environments" Springer Verlag 2011〕〔Shanken, Edward A. art and Electronic Media (Themes and Movements Series), Phaidon Press 2009〕 In her recent creative work, Laramee speculates on how human beings use and misuse the natural environment.〔Lippard, Lucy R. Weather Report: art and Climate Change, Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art 2007〕 Artworks that investigate the environmental and health impacts of atomic legacy sites track the invisible radioactive contamination, residues of the nuclear weapons complex and the nuclear energy industry. This multifaceted work cites uranium mining, milling, plutonium production that have resulted in the contamination of surface water, well water and deep aquifer water, soil and air pollution, social injustice, and the consequences upon forms of life. Her work on atomic legacy issues has been featured in the International Uranium Film Festival. Other forms of environmental degradation that she addresses are desertification, climate change, and dredging. The aspects of the history of science that she explores include alchemy, subjectivity in scientific research, such legendary figures as Charles Darwin and Johannes Kepler. The environmental/ecological issues that appear in her work include commodification of nature, the political and cultural history of the national parks in the USA, and the correlation between human blood and ocean water. Social conditions that she addresses include the impact of radioactive waste and weapons testing upon indigenous peoples in the American West. Laramee's social-sculpture interventions activate community participation in environmental remediation efforts, encourage responsible behaviors, and invoke political critiques. She is currently the executive director of ART/MEDIA for a Nuclear Free Future, an offshoot from ART/MEDIA, a social sculpture founded in 1984 that supported public art works presented in the mass media and created by such invited artists as Jenny Holzer, Hans Haacke, Rachel Rosenthal, Terry Allen, and others. Their projects included artist-designed billboards, television, radio and print interventions, museum exhibitions, lectures, and performance art 〔Durland, Steven (1986). "'Subersive Acts: ART/MEDIA" for example, introduced a radical alternative to media conventions〕 by disseminating political, environmental, and social activist art works to people who were not members of the traditional art audience. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eve Andree Laramee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
