Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Twelve lessons in fungal activism, Indigenous knowledge and collaboration for artists, gardeners, educators and anyone intrigued by the fascinating life and inspiring metaphors of the mycelium and the mushroomThe enormous popular interest in the world of fungi and the mycelium testifies to its tremendous resonance as a metaphor for new ways of thinking, new systems and behaviors. Taking its inspiration from this world, Let's Become Fungal! looks at a range of Indigenous practices from Latin America, the Caribbean and Asia that are rooted in multispecies collaboration, symbiosis, alliances, non-monetary resource exchange, decentralization, bottom-up methods and mutual dependency--all suggestive of the behavior of the mycelium.Each of the book's 12 chapters offers teachings on collaboration, decoloniality, nonlinearity, toxicity, mobilization, biomimicry, death and being nonbinary, while also examining the world of fungi. Let's Become Fungal! shows how fungi can inspire artists, collectives, organizations, educators, policymakers, designers, scientists, anthropologists, curators, urbanists, activists, gardeners, community leaders, farmers and others to become more fungal in their ways of working and being.Yasmine Ostendorf-Rodríguez (born 1984) works as a curator and researcher on art and ecology, and is based in Mexico City. She has founded and directed many international initiatives at the intersection of art and ecology, including the Green Art Lab Alliance (Asia, Latin America and Europe) and the Nature Research Department, the Van Eyck Food Lab, and the Future Materials Bank at the Jan van Eyck Academie (NL).

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How urban paradigms of efficiency, sanitization and surveillance transform city life into seamless 'experience' and erode the non-normativeIn cities across the world, a new urban condition is spreading rapidly: an ever-increasing push toward efficiency, sanitization, surveillance and the active eradication of any aberration, friction or alternative. From Dubai, Hong Kong and London to Amsterdam and Cairo, the smooth city, with its gated communities and theme-park zones, insidiously transforms urban life into seamless 'experience.' While the demand for safe, clean and well-functioning urban environments is understandable, the ascent of the smooth city corrodes the democratic and emancipatory potential of cities, leaving little space for the experimental and the non-normative. Smooth City investigates the origins, characteristics and consequences of 'smoothness' and points toward possible alternatives.René Boer (born 1986) is a critic, curator and organizer in and beyond the fields of architecture, art, design and heritage. Based in Amsterdam, he is a founding partner of Loom: Weaving New Worlds and an editor at Failed Architecture. De Klein, Kees (illustratore). …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Case studies at the intersection of art history and queer politics--from landmark exhibitions both institutional and underground to museum policies and art activism This anthology gathers case studies from the history of queer art exhibitions and their modes of documentation and archiving. The legacy of these projects often depends on personal archives, and consequently 'public' is a relative term for events that were either short-lived, held in domestic spaces or only for those in the know. At the intersection of queerness and contemporary art, this volume considers how the efforts of LGBTQ artists have advanced their public presence in museums and society alike.Case studies include Storefront for Art and Architecture's 1994 Queer Spaces exhibition and the Cruising Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale; the 'Queer Kharkiv School of Photography'; Martha Rosler's Dia exhibition If you lived here; the Canadian musician Peaches' exhibitions; Untold Stories, Estonia's first queer group exhibition; exhibitions on HIV/AIDS in German-speaking countries and France; queer artists and curators in Croatia; 'crip' theory's intersection with queer studies; a conversation with Sámi artist Katarina Pirak Sikku; and museum policies such as the Guggenheim Transparency initiative, Queer Is Not a Manifesto at the Stedelijk and Queering the Collection at Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven.…
