A wide-ranging collection of works from Eurasian artists and thinkers exploring multispecies ecologiesEvolving from multifaceted, polyvocal, long-term research and a series of exhibitions curated by Finnish-born artist Kristiina Koskentola (born 1967), who is also the coeditor of this book, Enfleshed: Ecologies of Entities and Beings brings together 17 practitioners, thinkers and artists from across Eurasia to collectively explore multispecies ecologies. The book reflects "anthrodecentric" and embodied approaches to collaboration and knowledge production--processes that are always interwoven with a multitude of entities and actors.The contributors engage in an exploration of experimental epistemic alliances, which operate as a way to learn and make new dialogic relations. The conflicts generated by ecological disaster, war, the global economy, identity politics and the power structures of knowledge production and science here intertwine with shamanisms, rituals, magic, speculation, politics and poetics. How do we imagine an active and implicated role of the human as one being among other beings? What might this entail, and what might this generate?
Cross-disciplinary speculations on expanding the creative possibilities of fieldworkGathering contributions from artists, writers and theorists, Fieldwork for Future Ecologies addresses the role that art and art-based research plays in expanding notions of fieldwork.

Focusing on projects from various geographic locations and situations, the book highlights the crucial contribution that art can make to environmental and climate studies.Contributors include: A.S.T. (Diann Bauer, Felice Grodin, Patricia M. Hernandez, Elite Kedan), Saskia Beudel, Imani Jacqueline Brown, David Burns, Angus Carlyle, Julie Gough, Henriette Gunkel, Eline McGeorge, Bianca Hester, Melody Jue, Therese Keogh, Kreider + O'Leary, Ruth Maclennan, Nicholas Mangan, Simon O'Sullivan, Kate Pickering, Philip Samartzis, Susan Schuppli and Kristen Sharp.

Over the past few years, design has been learned and unlearned, done and undone, patriarchised and depatriarchised, colonized and decolonized, centralized and decentralized, and so forth. Meanwhile, (departments of) schools appear to be wandering, un-stable, not-yet, unsettling, or impermanent, making way for anything other than sturdiness. The question must then be asked, if all within design is being undone, unmade, and unlearned, what is it exactly that is being done, being made, and being learned?'Unununimimimdededesign - the hesitant state of design' wishes to delve into this question by offering divergent views from within and upon design discourse and education. It does not aim to 'fix' this hesitant state or offer solutionist approaches, but instead reflectively pause and build upon the knowledge, thoughts, hesitations and discomforts that accompany it. special thanks toThe participants and alumni of The Critical Inquiry Lab: Viktoria Kaslik, Cecilia Casabona, Lara Chapman, Maxime Benvenuto, Josh Plough, Fernand Bretillot, Ram. n Jimenez Cardenas, Janfer Chung, Tiiu Meiner and Sofia Irene Marmolejo Bijnsdorp for their contribution to Saskia & Nadine's contribution;Rana Ghavami and her students for sharing thoughts, ideas and feedback; Anja Kaiser and Rebecca Stephany for an insightful conversation; and all the other engaged individuals involved in the process of developing this publication.
Belgrade collective kart has been operating within and around existing hierarchies of the art world and everyday life, working in collaboration with marginalized groups, NGOs, and anti-war movements. kart 's understanding of the artwork is fluid and relationship based. No matter the medium -poetry, embroidery, graphic design, choir, or radio broadcast- its artistic explorations are characterised by self-organisation, rooted in creating an open, accessible infrastructure for being together. This approach has been incorporated into a different scale of activities ranging from the street level to participation in the Venice Biennale of Architecture. Different social experiences create different forms of relativity. Through conversations with kart`s members, a collection of images, poems, drawings as well as newly commissioned texts by Zdenka Badovinac, Branislav Dimitrijevi? and Milica Peki?, this book captures traces of kart`s practice from the 1990s to present.

In these circumstances: On collaboration, performativity, self-organisation and transdisciplinarity in research-based practices assembles curatorial, artistic and pedagogical practices inspired by a. pass: an inter- national artistic and educational research environment focusing on performativity and scenography. This book discloses a history of the methods of artistic research in the context of the academisation of art education, and an abrasion of the once unbridled scene of artist-run organisations in Northern Europe. There are 35 contributions, many of them collaborative, ranging from concrete projects to inter- rogative speculations about artistic research. It aims to demonstrate how artistic research operates institutionally through a complex intertwinement of practices and how a. pass, over the past 14 years, has carved out a space for artistic research to imbricate in fields of both art and education, and stir the sedimentsof disciplinary enclosures.
A delightful romp through the surprising subcultures of an obsolete formatThis volume explores the curious afterlives of the floppy disk in the 21st century through the work of those involved with the medium today. The book reflects on notions of obsolescence, media preservation and nostalgia, and challenges these by showing the endurance and versatility of this familiar piece of technology.
