Essays, manifestos and more on the ecological complexities and contradictions of the art industry
Through essays, interviews, poetry, manifestos, choreographic prompts, speculative fiction and case studies at the intersection of art and activism, culture and nature, Sensing Earth explores the aesthetic dimensions and contradictions of ecological consciousness.
Artists and cultural initiatives are caught in a difficult bind, since they require cultural circulation to allow ideas to intersect and create meaningful connections. These same systems of circulation also contribute to the planet’s ecological decline, not least in the footprint that accumulates from biennale to international residency to touring exhibition. This in turn raises the greater economic precarity of artists in the Global South. The writings in this volume (which is published in Valiz's Antennae series) tackle these and other issues attending the ecological complicity of the art industry.
