140 Artists’ Ideas for Planet Earth features invitations from the world's leading artists and thinkers to engage with the climate crisis in new and imaginative ways. #BacktoEarth

Through drawings, thought experiments, recipes, instructions, gardening ideas, insurgences and personal revolutions, 140 artists come together for a publication dedicated to the environment and the climate emergency, including Marina Abramović, Brian Eno, Es Devlin, Yoko Ono, Neri Oxman, Vivienne Westwood and our very own James Bridle and Dr Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg.

As part of Serpentine’s Back to Earth project and in collaboration with Penguin Press, 140 artists, scientists, architects, filmmakers and more contribute ideas to a ‘do-it-yourself’ guide on how to shape a more ecological and equitable future.

This is the result: a compendium of recipes, sketches, photographs, essays, spells, and instructions that ask us to engage with the climate emergency in new and imaginative ways in our daily lives, in our homes and communities, parks and public spaces. The contributors of the book invite you to scribble on these pages, to rip them out and take them to a protest, letting the book become a companion in thinking about new futures.

We hope that holding this book, going through its pages and listening to its many voices will offer alternate -yet connected- visions of our planet, food for thought, seeds to grow, incentives to cook, dream and act, individually and collectively, as we look ahead and imagine together, for the sake of the next 50, 500 or 5,000 years.

140 Artists’ Ideas for Planet Earth is edited by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Kostas Stasinopoulos.

The book includes contributions by Marina Abramović, Brian Eno, Black Quantum Futurism Collective, Ilse Crawford, Es Devlin, Dunne & Raby, Olafur Eliasson, Yoko Ono, Neri Oxman, Vivienne Westwood, Superflux, and our very own James Bridle and Dr Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg.
