Under the backdrop of economic and social development along with the irreversible process of urbanization, natural spaces are actually experiencing increasingly intense pressure, having reached a critical point of overload. Beneath the tip of the iceberg lies the struggle between human expansionist desires and rationality - how to interpret the relationship between humans and the environment, how to seek a balance between industry and nature, and how to break the deadlock in conflicts of interest. These thoughts all reveal humanity’s eternal exploration and care for nature and the inner world. Influenced by various global ecological issues, the combination of art curation and ecological themes has become a hot topic of interest in recent years. This study focuses on exploring ecological awareness and expression in contemporary art curation, utilizing literature analysis and case analysis methods to search for and read relevant materials and literature. It also conducts in-depth analysis and reasoning on exhibition cases held in natural and urban spaces, analyzing the ecological awareness and expression manifested in various curation practices. The study finds that, due to the unique attributes and functions of exhibitions, curation plays a significant role in responding to public crisis issues, reflecting on, and reconstructing the dynamic relationship between humans and nature.
