ABOUT IMAGES  
Radical NatureLand art brings the environment to the gallery interior as 25 select artists give their interpretation of climate change issues at the Barbican's summer exhibition, Radical Nature - The Architecture For A Changing Planet 1969-2009. Described as, "a cross between summer solstice at Stonehenge and the Chelsea Flower Show" (The Times), you'll see a Flying Garden (by Tomas Saraceno), a Fallen Forest (Henrik Hakansson), and a Full Farm (by Newton Harrison and Helen Mayer Harrison) within the gallery. Inspirational works by architectural collective Ant Farm and architect Richard Buckminster Fuller feature along with works by artists Joseph Beuys (co-founder of Germany's Green Party), Agnes Denes, Hans Haacke and Robert Smithson. "You could lose yourself for hours in the barnacles, pods or flying boats that are accreted in the architectural drawings of Wolf Hilbertz's cybertecture island Autopia" - high praise from The Guardian.
