  BOOK LAUNCH, SYMPOSIUM & EXHIBITION. On the occasion of the release of Synthetic Becoming, book editor and researcher Lenka Veselá has organized this “unconference and interdisciplinary, collective, reflexive, affective, and socially engaged research symposium in art, design, humanities, and social sciences” at Faculty of Fine Arts, Brno University of Technology. More info with keynotes and full program here.

  REVIEW. A first article about Synthetic Becoming has appeared in the Chech online journal Clanky. Author Vit Bohal writes about the book: “Synthetic Becoming speaks from the position of a particular planetary politics that takes stock of a new, molecular commonality, and radically engages with the multiplicity of voices that speak through post-colonial, ecological and social critique. The book itself is constructed as a particular material artefact printed on recycled paper in order to mitigate its carbon footprint; but such paper is at the same time ‘weaker, less reliable, and potentially toxic’ due to the higher retention of toxins and bacteria in recycled paper generally. Its reading thus constitutes a material ‘commitment’ on the part of the reader – ‘a material choice to acknowledge dependencies, vulnerabilities, and sensitivities of contemporary life extending beyond our individual selves.’ For better or for worse, within this new molecular commons we never stand alone.”

• 11 8–9

  LAUNCH & SYMPOSIUM. On the occasion of the release of volumes 1–3 of Fieldguides for a Preternaturalist, artist and author Wendy Morris has organized a two-day gathering and public recital of the work in Antwerp and Brussels. Rooted Encounters: Fields, Forest, and other Imaginings is a symposium on pluralist entanglements of artistic thinking with other research ecologies and considers art’s potential for making a stand within current challenges. Thinking along with philosophies of plant biology, feminist critiques of biotechnology, colonialism, and science, histories of plants out of place, and bark beetles and bitter roots, participants explore the collaborative possibilities of ambulatory libraries, storytelling-as-method, and ecologies of listening. With: Kate Briggs, Paco Calvo, Alexandra Crouwers, Lukas De Clerck, Sepideh Karami, Laurens Dhaenens, Wendy Morris, Nele Möller, Rachel O’Donnell, Renée Turner, Catalina Valdez, and Els Viaene. Event details are here.

Robert and Anna-Sophie will guide participants to develop a personal project and vision that reconsiders ecology and its possibilities, while also offering critical perspectives on artistic and editorial methodologies.

  PRESS. Berlin newspaper Der Tagesspiegel published Robert Klage’s lovely portrait of Anna-Sophie and K. Verlag in today’s print edition. A minor errata: our book wall is really 6 meters tall; some days looking straight up feels like standing beneath a skyscraper. We used a pretty huge sky-lift vehicle and mountain climber harnesses to install the shelves. Before manual refurbishment, these shelves were a fortunate inheritance from the dismantled library of the Zoological Collections in Halle/Saale.

  BOOK TALK. To mark the release of Dora García’s publication, Love with Obstacles (Amor Rojo), the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University in Massachusetts is hosting a virtual book launch and conversation exploring the rich legacy of Alexandra Kollantai. Kollontai (St. Petersburg, 1872–Moscow, 1952) was an October revolutionary, social activist, feminist, and intellectual who was a key agitator for the sexual and social emancipation of women.

  Moderated by Senior Curator-at-Large Ruth Estévez, Dora García will be joined by Rina Ortiz (a Mexican scholar of Kollontai and contributing writer to the book) and Anna-Sophie Springer (the book’s editor and director of its publisher, K. Verlag), and by Shoniqua Roach (Assistant Professor of African and African American Studies & Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at Brandeis University). Tune in for a lively discussion on Kollantai’s contributions towards protecting women’s rights, the importance of fiction and private correspondence in the construction of political thought, and how Kollantai’s ideas on radical social change continue to inspire and mobilize a new generation of feminist thinkers and activists. The conversation will be hosted online via Zoom Webinar. Please RSVP to receive login credentials!

On Reconciliation offers a public reading of a selection of letters by German philosophers Martin Heidegger and Hannah Arendt; it follows artist Dora García’s publication of the same name, bringing together a series of reflections on the correspondence between Arendt and Heidegger, from 1925 to 1975, as a means to think about moral responsibility, ethical indebtedness, and the role of intellectuals in times of political insurgency. This event is presented at Witte de With, Rotterdam, with an introduction about the work of Arendt and Heidegger by Dr. Tina Rahimy, political philosopher and lector of “Social Work in the Super-diverse City” at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences. 19h00, free admission.

  REVIEW. “Landscape and Memory: A Review of The Word for World is Still Forest” — A scholar of German literature, geology, and the Anthropocene, the Jason Groves composed an absolutely beautiful reading of intercalations 4 which he published on the Feedback Blog of Open Humanities Press on the day of our Tiergarten-walk book-launch. Fitting to this event, Jason’s text resonates with the walk and the book through excerpts by Walter Benjamin and Franz Hessel about the Tiergarten and even the Amazon on Horseback sculpture where we departed from with Sandra Bartoli.
