Description
Amy Balkin is an American artist whose projects propose a reconstituted commons, considering legal borders and systems, environmental justice, and equitable sharing of common-pool resources in the context of climate change. These include clean-air park “Public Smog”, “A People's Archive of Sinking and Melting” (Amy Balkin, et al.), and “This is the Public Domain”, an ongoing effort to create a permanent international commons. She was a collaborator on Invisible-5, an environmental justice audio tour of California’s Interstate-5 freeway corridor. Her work and project documentation have been included in DUMP! at Kunstal Aarhus, Anthropocene Monument at les Abattoirs, Public Works at Mills College Art Museum, dOCUMENTA (13), Globale: Infosphere at ZKM, and in Sublime at the Centre Pompidou-Metz.
