This course is about environmental criticism. It also involves planning for an installation/exhibition scheduled to open at the Krannert Art Museum in Fall 2012; the installation is about the indigo plant and the indigo-dyed textiles made by the contemporary artist Rowland Ricketts. To provide background for the installation, we shall examine several different Chinese and Japanese art forms, focusing on both the methods of their manufacture and the sustainability of these methods. How the fabrication of certain things embodied the society that used them, and how practices of manufacture impacted the environment in which they were used, are issues that we shall strive to understand through writings and artistic projects. Based on a series of case studies, this course ranges broadly to cover both traditional and contemporary art forms, such as garden designs of 16th- and 17th-century China and Japan; the ceramic industry in 16th-18th-century Japan; and artistic responses to the construction of Three Gorges Dam in 21st-century China.
