After his years of experimenting with video, multimedia, installation and performance (some of which lasted for days), Dutch artist Folkert de Jong finally found sculpture to be the most effective medium for expressing and defining his fascination with the dark, violent side of existence. This first comprehensive publication covers the 33-year-old artist's surprisingly multifaceted oeuvre.
On the Relevance of Ecology for Environmental Policy
Is ecological knowledge relevant for environmental policy and if so, to what extent and in what way? These are some of the basic questions addressed in this book. Triggered by a series of oxygen depletion events in German, Danish and Swedish coastal waters at the beginning of the 1980s, international policies to reduce inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus to the North Sea were agreed upon by the North Sea states. The book provides a critical analysis of the role, scientists and scientific information, as well as civil servants, have played in the formulation and implementation of these decisions.
