The Hydrocene

This book challenges conventional notions of the Anthropocene and champions the Hydrocene: the Age of Water. It presents the Hydrocene as a disruptive, conceptual epoch and curatorial theory, emphasising water's pivotal role in the climate crisis and contemporary art. The Hydrocene is a wet ontological shift in eco-aesthetics which redefines our approach to water, transcending anthropocentric, neo-colonial and environmentally destructive ways of relating to water. As the most fundamental of elements, water has become increasingly politicised, threatened and challenged by the climate crisis. In response, The Hydrocene articulates and embodies the distinctive ways contemporary artists relate a...

An exploration of food, ingestion, and digestion in the emerging field of the metabolic arts. Food appears everywhere in the arts. But what happens after viewers carry food away in the intestinal networks activated by social practice art, the same way digestion turns food into a body? Exploring the emerging field of metabolic arts, After Eating claims digestion and metabolism as key cultural, creative, and political processes that demand attention. Taking an artist-centered approach to nutrition, Lindsay Kelley cultivates a neglected middle ground between the everyday and the scientific, using metabolism as a lens through which to read and write about art. Divided into two parts and full of ...

What does Venice look like when observed from the perspective of climate change, environmental collapse, and human-animal relations in an age of industrialization and mass extinction? That is, as a privileged observatory of the Anthropocene? This guide, composed of several voices, forms a new, illuminating and disturbing mosaic of Venice and its Lagoon. What does the Venetian School of Painting tell us about our relationship with the environment and animals? What do peripheral places in the Lagoon like Porto Marghera and Pellestrina reveal about the advent and impact of modernity? What stories of extinction lie behind local delicacies like baccalà mantecato? What does the centuries-old relationship of Venetians with water tell us about other cities threatened by an increasingly hostile climate? The guidebook, accompanied by a map, is intended as a tool for learning about the city in a new way. Venice emerges here as a unique ecosystem at risk, but also as a key to understanding our increasingly vulnerable world. Preface by Serenella Iovino

Come appare Venezia quando la si osserva con il pensiero rivolto ai cambiamenti climatici, al collasso ambientale e alle relazioni tra umano e non-umano in un’epoca di industrializzazione ed estinzioni di massa? Pensando, cioè, alla città d’acqua come a un osservatorio privilegiato dell’Antropocene? Questa guida, composta da diverse voci, costituisce un mosaico nuovo, illuminante e inquietante di Venezia e della sua Laguna. Che cosa ci raccontano i dipinti della scuola veneziana del nostro rapporto con l’ambiente e gli animali? Cosa rivelano luoghi periferici della Laguna come Porto Marghera e Pellestrina sull’avvento e l’impatto della modernità? Che storie di estinzioni celano prelibatezze locali come il baccalà mantecato? Cosa ci dice il secolare rapporto dei veneziani con l’acqua su altre città minacciate da un clima sempre più ostile? La guida, corredata da una mappa dei luoghi, si propone come uno strumento per conoscere la città in modo nuovo. Venezia emerge qui come un particolarissimo ecosistema a rischio, ma anche come una chiave per comprendere il nostro mondo, sempre più vulnerabile. Il testo è accompagnato da una prefazione di Serenella Iovino.

La construcción del sujeto robado

  • Categories: Art

La reivindicación de las artistas, que va ganando peso a lo largo del siglo XX, especialmente desde su segunda mitad, es el resultado, lógicamente, de la incorporación masiva de la mujer al mundo laboral y, en particular, al campo artístico, y de los procesos de cambios estructurales socioculturales experimentados desde la Revolución Industrial. Así, a partir de la década de los 70 del siglo XX, las mujeres adoptan una postura consciente tanto en la producción artística como en el campo teórico, y en la base se hallan dos procesos intelectuales paralelos: la expansión del movimiento feminista y el deseo de expresar una nueva manera de ver. Sin embargo, a partir de ahora, de lo que...
