The works of the 25 artists presented in Greenwashing. Environment: Promises, Perils and Perplexities do not just passively lament the degradation of our planet, or provide pragmatic solutions. Instead they actively articulate the contradictions and responsibilities that we are encountering personally and as a society.

Very Small Objects
Historically we have sought to know the world by categorizing and classifying what we see around us. In the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, natural philosophers such as John Ray (1627-1705); Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon (1707-1788); and Carl von Linnaeus (1707-1778) worked to create universalized systems of classification that could be used to name all things found in nature. Their work was influential, and a slightly modified version of the original Linnaean Classification System is still used by scientists today.
Los Angeles Urban Rangers
LA-based geographers, environmental and art historians, artists, curators, architects, and others – who aim, with both wit and a healthy dose of sincerity, to facilitate creative, critical, head-on, oblique, and crisscrossed investigations into our sprawling metropolis and its various ecologies. Fashioned as a mobile and site-specific interpretive force, and appropriating the figure of the stereotypic park service ranger, we offer educational campfire programs and guided hikes throughout Los Angeles.
LUST / RANDOM

Department of Reading
The Department of Reading is an online-based project displayed in different spatial configurations and designed to promote new forms of reading. In order to expose the act of reading in its potentiality the Department of Reading investigates, how the disposition of readers to comment and interfere with text can be made public as well as a mode to open texts towards their intricate textures. Thus one of the most crucial questions of the Department of Reading concerns the collectiveness of reading and asks, in how far such a collectivity is always already implied within the very texture of a given text. Examining the mechanisms of reading through reading, the labour reading takes, its time and space, the Department of Reading attempts to redraw the concept of reading and expose textures of predication.
http://www.freee.org.uk/
Freee is a new art collective bringing together the practices of Dave Beech, Andy Hewitt and Mel Jordan. After producing a body of works together over the last year and a half in a loose collaboration (alongside working individually and in other collaborations), the three artists have decided to make a firm commitment to collaborating together full time as Freee. So while Freee is a new art group, it brings together artists with a shared history of engagement in critical practice.

nogozones project
Between May and July, we - Claudia Wegener and Terry Humphrey, two radio obsessed artists in London - have been running a series of weekly workshops, drop-in radio sessions and live broadcasts on Resonance104.4fm under the title ‘NO-GO-ZONES’. We have been working with a young production team of students from Camberwell College of Art and teenagers from the area of South London collecting recordings, conducting interviews with individuals or reports about groups around 'no-go-zone' experiences we encounter in our daily lives. Out with our studio van, we made recordings of individual lives stories and of group debates. The result of this activity is a growing archive of people no-go-zone stories, issues and concerns.
exposed
EXPOSED is a film about Katherine, a 35 year old dancer and writer who suffers from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, a chronic condition caused by exposure to synthetic chemicals in consumer products, pesticides, building materials, exhaust, tabacco smoke, perfume, cleaning agents, food additives and others. While skeptics, particularly in the traditional medical field and the chemical industry, still question its legitimacy, for Katherine it is a debilitating everyday reality, forcing her to live outside of the norms of her society.
Errors in Production
Since January 2004, I have been working artistically on the theme of mistakes in our everyday lives as they arise in manufacturing errors, malfunctions and in our perception of mistakes. „ Errors in Production“ is a collection of various small objects with individual manufacturing errors. Due to strict quality management in production and the striving for perfection and efficiency it is extraordinarily rare to find such lone objects that deviate from the canon of industrial standardisation. Each object tells a special story about its production and makes a concise record of the moment that went out of control.
