Only when people are in a position to use their own creative potentials,
which can be enhanced by an artistic imagination, will a change occur
[....] Art can and should strive for an alternative that is not only
aesthetically affirmative and productive but is also beneficial to all
forms of life on our planet.
Rasheed Araeen: Ecoaesthetics. A Manifesto for the Twenty-First Century

In the autumn of 2009, Rasheed Araeen, editor of the respected
periodical on art and culture Third Text, launched a frontal attack on
the modern ego and the recuperation of the avant-garde. Instead of the
continued rigid production of objects and a stubborn anchoring in art
institutions, Araeen pleads for a collective artistic imagination as the
only road towards "[…] rivers and lakes of clean water, collective farms
and the planting of trees all over the world."
