• 11 29

  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.

A minor errata: our book wall is really 6 meters tall; some days looking straight up feels like standing beneath a skyscraper.

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!

  EXHIBITION. Several friends in Australia sent word about the exhibition After Nature by Janet Laurence, on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, because she has included our book “The Word for World is Still Forest” in her array of objects gathered for the installation “Theatre of Trees.” Many, many thanks, and: chapeau to such a beautiful and thoughtful looking show!

  EXHIBITION & LAUNCH. Paulo Tavares and autonoma (his Brazilian agency for spatial research and intervention), made a beautiful publication—Des-Habitat. We published it on the occasion of the traveling exhibition Bauhaus imaginista’s São-Paulo iteration. Now, we are very pleased to welcome Paulo for the European launch of Des-Habitat at HKW Berlin, where all international chapters of the Bauhaus imaginista exhibition are coming together and where he will present the project as a speaker in the attendant conference.

In their essay, “Spaces of Encounter: The Powerful Act of Reading,” dpr barcelona founders Ethel Baraona Pohl and César Reyes Nájera argue in Architectural Review that books are important generators of public space. The essay includes a significant reflection of our 2015-volume Fantasies of the Library.
