Eco-Operations | ED. Liliana Gómez, Fabienne Liptay | 2024

Contribution of Reading Wood (Backwards) and a discussion On Eco-operations and Decoloniality: A Discussion with Uriel Orlow, Dalida María Benfield, T.J. Demos, Fabienne Liptay, Lukas Brasiskis, to Eco-Operations, edited by Liliana Gómez and Fabienne Liptay, 2024.

The climate change crisis has become part of aesthetic discourse and critical research in culture and the arts. Future-oriented, ecologically conceived possibilities for action are being explored by artists, curators, and scholars alike. Eco-operations addresses these emerging aesthetic ecologies and new technologies of cooperation that both challenge and shape a sustainable future, foregrounding interruptions, ruptures, disconnections, dissonances, exclusions, and allochronism. Moving beyond the concepts of “flow” and “network” as a single, coherent (ecological or technological) system, Eco-operations instead emphasizes the frictions within asynchronously running systems. The infrastructures and formats of artistic production and exhibition play a central role here, as they themselves constitute ecosystems that invite and regulate processes of sharing and exchange. Artists and activists are embedded in these ecosystems, in which they simultaneously intervene when searching for alternative ways of creating collaborative practice. Bringing together scholars, artists, writers, and curators, and working across a range of disciplines, Eco-operations explores this field of tension between global and local ecologies, and aims to speculate on where dissonances imply both creative potential and political challenges.

With contributions by Dalida María Benfield, Ursula Biemann, Lisa Blackmore, T. J. Demos, Laura Flórez & Lorena García Cely, Sandra ­Frimmel, Alexandra Gelis, Liliana Gómez, ­Fabienne ­Liptay, Ana María Lozano, Uriel Orlow, Dorota Sajewska.

Film Undone | Ed. Philip Widmann | October 2024

Unmade Film, Perfomative Film, Future Film: An Ethics of Witnessing, Essay by Uriel Orlow, to Film Undone. Elements of a Latent Cinema, edited by Philip Widmann.
Film Undone presents contributions introducing unmade and unfinished film projects, film ideas realised in non-filmic media, as well as films that remained unseen in their intended form and at their intended time. These tentative and careful probes dedicated to singular projects reflect the importance of primary materials before and beyond the film. Bringing them together as Elements of a Latent Cinema opens a space to consider cases from various political geographies and historical moments in relation. Latency prompts to think differently about what has remained invisible in cinema than under deficit-centred categories such as failure, loss, or incompletion. It marks a sustained potentiality for things to change their condition, to affect us and set us in motion.

Mobile Soils | Anne-Laure Franchette, Jose Cáceres Mardones, Gabriel N. Gee (eds.)

TETI Press first publication

This collection of essays reflects on the mobile ground beneath our feet, questioning the soil as both material and narrative in our interconnected territories. Texts by artists, curators, historians, engineers, environmental scientists, architects, gardeners and poets peer into the bright and dark worlds of the underground, look at memories, molecules and resilience on the ground, industry, migration and spectral presences on the overground. Throughout, authors revisit their own practice confronted to present earthly attachments and ecological pressure. It stems from a series of workshops organised in 2019 as part of the Baustelle und Botanic project.

Edited by Anne-Laure Franchette, Jose Caceres Mardones, Gabriel N.Gee
