Search - Art in the Anthropocene: Encounters Among Aesthetics, Politics, Environments and Epistemologies

Art in the Anthropocene Encounters Among Aesthetics Politics Environments and Epistemologies
Author: Heather Davis, Etienne Turpin

Taking as its premise that the proposed epoch of the Anthropocene is necessarily an aesthetic event, this collection explores the relationship between contemporary art and knowledge production in an era of ecological crisis. *Art in the Anthropocene* brings together a multitude of disciplinary conversations, drawing together artists, curators, s... more »cientists, theorists and activists to address the geological reformation of the human species. With contributions by Amy Balkin, Ursula Biemann, Amanda Boetzkes, Lindsay Bremner, Joshua Clover & Juliana Spahr, Heather Davis, Sara Dean, Elizabeth Ellsworth & Jamie Kruse (smudge studio), Irmgard Emmelhainz, Anselm Franke, Peter Galison, Fabien Giraud, & Ida Soulard, Laurent Gutierrez & Valérie Portefaix (MAP Office), Terike Haapoja & Laura Gustafsson, Laura Hall, Ilana Halperin, Donna Haraway & Martha Kenney, Ho Tzu Nyen, Bruno Latour, Jeffrey Malecki, Mary Mattingly, Mixrice (Cho Jieun & Yang Chulmo), Natasha Myers, Jean-Luc Nancy & John Paul Ricco, Vincent Normand, Richard Pell & Emily Kutil, Tomas Saraceno, Sasha Engelmann & Bronislaw Szerszynski, Ada Smailbegovic, Karolina Sobecka, Richard Streitmatter-Tran & Vi Le, Anna-Sophie Springer, Sylvère Lotringer, Peter Sloterdijk, Etienne Turpin, Pinar Yoldas, and Una Chaudhuri, Fritz Ertl, Oliver Kellhammer & Marina Zurkow. This book is also available as an Open Access publication through the Open Humanities Press: http://openhumanitiespress.org/art-in-the-anthropocene.html ?This brilliant collection of essays and projects, gathered from all over the world, reflects the limits and possibilities of how visual art might respond to what Sylvère Lotringer describes as a "state of emergency." *Art in the Anthropocene* is at once an investigation and an homage to the natural world. It describes what we possess and what we have lost.? ? Chris Kraus, author of *Where Art Belongs* ?*Art in the Anthropocene* is an art book like no other, embracing an extraordinary range of subjects that affect what we call "our" environment. Visual artists are, for once, equal participants in these imaginative, intelligent, and informative discussions of the most pressing issues of our time, and deep time.? ? Lucy R. Lippard, author of *Undermining: A Wild Ride through Land Use, Politics and Art in the Changing West* ?Call it the Anthropocene, the #misanthropocene, or something else?there?s a growing recognition that these are damaged times, even if nobody is quite sure how to see, think, or feel them. That?s why *Art in the Anthropocene* is so important. Davis and Turpin have gathered up the seeds for a whole biome of art and thought about the things that really matter in this world.? ? McKenzie Wark, author of *Molecular Red: Theory for the Anthropocene* ?This is a rich, ambitious, and beautifully edited collection that reimagines the Anthropocene as an affective rather than a scientific fact. It touches the very core of our being (post)human?and of the space around us we variously call ?the environment? or ?the world.? Art in the Anthropocene is vital read for anyone who cares about art, animals, climate, ethics, extinction, justice, plants, poetry and the weather!? ? Joanna Zylinska, author of *Minimal Ethics for the Anthropocene*
