As part of the Getty Center’s PST ART initiative, Breath(e) considers the connections between climate change, environmental justice, and social justice through the lens of contemporary art. This book features approximately 45 works focused on climate change by a group of intergenerational contemporary artists, scientists, and activists, addressing deforestation, ocean acidification, coral reef bleaching, water pollution, extraction, and atmospheric politics. It features six major new commissions, including a living bee sculpture by Garnett Puett and a garden created by Ron Finley that extends beyond the art world to make tangible contributions to protecting our climate.  Artists include: Mel Chin, Ryoji Ikeda, Mika Tajima, Cannupa Hasker Luger, Yoshitomo Nara, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Otobong Nkanga, Clarissa Tossin, Zheng Mahler.  Edited by Glenn Kaino, Mika Yoshitake.
