Prints and Works on Paper

The last few years I have returned to including drawings and paintings into my installations. After a tremendous first year in New York City I am inspired to expand in all directions and develope new works in two dimensional mediums. As 2009 progresses I will build galleries of prints and works on paper on this page to share.

Photographs featured on this site are the only official recorded images of actual installations by Joe Mangrum made over the past 15 years. Due to the ephemeral nature of my work, this is the primary means of preserving these one time events. Archival photographs are available for purchase as C-prints on Fuji crystal archive paper. I offer a variety of sizes of smaller images up to 11"x14" for the casual admirer as well as larger scale limited editions for the serious collector of fine art.

Please contact me for further information regarding pricing.

In the environmental realm, science and art are inextricably linked. While science determines how we measure the health of our planet, art allows us to visualize our relationship to the natural world. Art in Action collects creative interpretations of the state of out planet in word and image by seventy-nine artists. These varied pieces express a profound appreciation for all species and landscapes, explore our natural world lost, despaired and reconstructed and describe the fantasy of paradises anew and gone awry.

From the expansive vision of Christo to the enlightened power of Olafur Eliasson, the art speaks to us in as many ways as there are artists. Each chapter asks us to celebrate, reflect, interact, protect and act, demonstrating the vast and rich web of life and the interconnectedness of it all. No book can change the natural world. But these stories and photographs can build awareness, the first critical step in changing our collective story from one that exploits and destroys nature for the benefit of humankind to one that nurtures and values the natural world.
