Fieldwork for Future Ecologies: Radical Practice for Art and Art-Based Research

by Bridget Crone (Editor)

Cross-disciplinary speculations on expanding the creative possibilities of fieldwork

Gathering 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. At once a research handbook and a philosophical speculation, it explores ways of working within diverse climates using image, sound, movement and other sensing technologies, and also offers more creative interventions into the idea of "the field" itself. 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.

awesome thoughts and approaches to making art and engaging in art-research. I read this as a small lit review before drafting the pre and post survey for the artist internship the art collective I'm in is leading.
