Abstract

The problem of defining “sustainable art” is closely related to the extensive discussion around the paradigm shift of economic growth to the concept of “sustainable development” and related problematic issues related to the relationship between man and the environment. The article explores how contemporary art can reflect the problems of “sustainability”. The article explores the term “sustainable art” through the ecological, social and cultural context of Russia. The author emphasizes the importance of art as a tool for reflection, critical commentary and an incentive to dialogue on sustainability issues. In the Russian context, the issues of “sustainable” development of the economy, ecology and society are also conceptualized by contemporary art, but at the moment this practice are not described as “sustainable art”. The specifics of Russian protected areas allow us to consider them as possible model sites for the development of sustainable art in Russia. The author examines artistic practices in Russian protected areas in 2011-2021 in the optics of “sustainability”.
