Abstract

Sex Ecologies' explores pleasure, affect, and the powers of the erotic in the human and more-than-human worlds. Arguing for the positive and constructive role of sex in ecology and art practice, these texts and artistic research projects attempt nothing short of reclaiming the sexual from Western erotophobia and heteronormative narratives of nature and reproduction. The artists and writers set out to examine queer ecology through the lens of environmental humanities, investigating the fluid boundaries between bodies (both human and nonhuman), between binary conceptions of nature as separate from culture, and between disciplines.00In newly commissioned texts from such writers as Mel Y. Chen and Jack Halberstam and a selection of influential essays?including an annotated version of Audre Lorde's ?The Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power??as well as images and sketches from works in progress by a diverse group of artists, Sex Ecologies combines insights from the fields of art, environmental humanities, ecofeminism, gender studies, science, technology, political science, and indigenous studies.00'Sex Ecologies', which accompanies an exhibition of the same name at Kunsthall Trondheim, emerges from an arts-driven research project collaboratively developed between the art center and the Seed Box environmental humanities collaboratory. Conceived not as a result but as a seed arising from this transdisciplinary fertilization, the volume presents a case for the role of sex in environmental and social justice. Co-published with Kunsthall Trondheim (Norway) and the Seed Box (Sweden). "First collection on the emerging field of sex ecology, bringing together established and rising diverse voices from ecofeminism and queer studies to focus on social and environmental justice"--

Abstract

Brittany Nelson: Out of the Everywhere brings together newly commissioned texts by art historian and curator Lars Bang Larsen, curator and writer Stefanie Hessler, and poet and writer Quinn Latimer. The comprehensive essays highlight the artist Brittany Nelson’s work and veer into topics of queer abstraction, the politics of representation, feminist science fiction, space travel, and isolation. The book further includes visual contributions by artists Danielle Dean and Gala Porras-Kim, and a performance script by Gordon Hall. It is designed by Lauren Thorson of Studio-Set.

Brittany Nelson appropriates and distorts processes from 19th century photography to question representation as photographic ideal. In chemically manipulating traditional techniques, such as mordançage and tintype, she causes unprecedented reactions in the materials, which result in extraordinary abstract imagery. In continuation of feminist and queer abstraction, she unfetters photography’s constraints of resemblance to real-world referents, to include technological utopias, spaceflight and time travel, and feminist science fiction, particularly the writing of Alice B. Sheldon—who wrote under the pen name James Tiptree, Jr. to insulate herself against the misogynist attitudes cultivated in science fiction circles, and allowing her write about her own lesbian desires.

In her most recent practice, Nelson borrows from found material such as NASA photographs of the surface of Mars. By applying techniques such as the pictorial bromoil method to these images, she translates between analogue and digital media, resulting in magnificent prints that warp not only the surface and constitutive photographic features but also question the content on view.

Abstract

Frida Orupabo’s first monograph is published on the occasion of Orupabo’s exhibition at Kunsthall Trondheim. The book contains extensive documentation of artworks and includes also some of the social media imagery the artist has been producing over the past years, which form an integral part of her artistic oeuvre.

In her work, Orupabo explores questions related to race, family and kin relations, gender, sexuality, violence and identity. In Orupabo’s art, questions are also being raised on visibility and the necessity of being seen as a political subject. In her research process, Orupabo mines archives with a colonial history, revisiting images that were created through a racialized lens, as well as digital platforms such as Instagram and YouTube. From found digital and physical material, she creates collages, videos shown in exhibitions and distributed using the same online platforms from which some of the material is obtained.

The book Frida Orupabo includes contributions by Lola Olufemi, Legacy Russell, and Stefanie Hessler. It is designed by NODE Berlin Oslo and co-published by Kunsthall Trondheim and Sternberg Press.
